Living in the Half-Light : Sketches of a Bahá'í Family
Jean Gould
Living in the Half-Light : Sketches of a Bahá'í Family - Wilmette, Illinois Baha'i Publishing Trust 2006 - vi, 179 pages ; 23 cm
In this alternately funny and deeply touching book, Jean Gould opens the door to her family's private moments and shares her memories as a teacher, wife, mother, and friend. In thirty short vignettes, each introduced with a selection from the Baha'i writings, she recalls the struggles and triumphs of life in a Baha'i family. In an age where uncertainty and anxiety are the only constants, and when families are being torn apart from all sides, here is a book that reminds us why we stay together--and what wonderful things happen when we do.
Using excerpts from the Baha'i writings to support the stories (or maybe it's the other way around), Living in the Half-Light offers lots of examples of how the Baha'i writings can be applied in our daily lives. A delightful read!
