Be Brave and Arise contains: mentoring and encouragement for a life quest; spiritual guidance from the Bahá'í Faith for men over age 15 in all life circumstances; real sharing and experiences of other men; practical actions to take; and questions for reflection. A book contributor shared: "When I hear 'Be Brave' I feel empowered and ennobled. It honors the weight of the dark forces I face in the world each day. Nothing other than true heroism, self-effacement, fearlessness, and ultimate detachment seem to be called for." Fulfilling a life quest as a spiritual man results in: self-respect and respect from others; character strength and confidence; physical, sexual, mental, emotional, and spiritual health; clear aspirations and goals; contributing to others through work and service; building community; and healthy, unified friendships, marriage, and family. The Bahá'í teachings say: "Man's supreme honor and real happiness lie in self-respect, in high resolves and noble purposes, in integrity and moral quality, in immaculacy of mind." You can be brave and arise beginning today! ER -
