General note A Privilege So Priceless: Becoming a Better Teacher of the Bahá’í Faith takes a detailed look at teaching the Cause of Bahá’u’lláh. Among the many topics covered are: why teaching is so important, the individual’s role in teaching, the crucial need for—and the nature of—wisdom in teaching, the process and psychology of teaching, systematic teaching and training institute courses as keys to the organic growth of the Faith, and the unique crucial role of youth in God’s Cause. Advice and methods of teaching recommended and followed by the Faith’s Central Figures are reviewed, as are guidelines from Shoghi Effendi and the Universal House of Justice. Inspiring historical examples of several renowned teachers of the Faith, or some special aspects of how they taught, are also examined.<br/><br/>These are but a few section headings in A Privilege So Priceless:<br/><br/>* Why Do We Teach?<br/>* How Do I Prepare to Teach?<br/>* Ignore Our Weaknesses, Place Our Confidence in God’s Power<br/>* Check Out the Mud Prints<br/>* Cultural Considerations<br/>* Relying Upon and Using the Word of God<br/>* Giving a Willing Ear to Any Manner of Senseless Talk<br/>* Learning the Art of Correlation<br/>* Understanding Those We Teach<br/>* Weaving Bonds of Fellowship<br/>* Letting Others Know Their True Station<br/>* Giving a New Perspective of the Past and Optimism for the Future<br/>* Using Arguments, Not Arguing<br/>* Teaching Religionists<br/>* Organic Growth of the Cause and Individual Bahá’ís<br/>* The ‘Engine’ of the Process of Entry by Troops<br/>* Developing a New Culture of Growth<br/>* Importance of Setting Achievable and Measurable Personal Goals<br/>* Embracing and Interacting with the Wider Community<br/>* Finding the “Ready” and “Waiting” Souls<br/>* Audacity’s Role in Teaching<br/>* Teaching Children and Youth to Teach<br/>* Preparing for and Living Lives of Service<br/>* Making Up Your Mind to Do Great Things
