Unto God Shall We Return portrays a destiny of unutterable beauty and splendor for those who fulfill their lives’ purpose during their short stay on this planet. It shows that death is not a voyage to grave, but to God. This book brings comfort to all those who mourn the loss of their loved ones, and instills hope, peace, and joy by unveiling glimpses of the glories that await anyone who fulfills his mission on earth and joins the host of heaven. We are not permanent residents of this planet, but travelers on a journey to a new and exciting world: Say: “O son of man! Sorrow not save that thou art far from Us. Rejoice not save that thou art drawing near and returning unto Us.” —Bahá’u’lláh Man is the life of the world, and the life of man is the spirit…Rejoice, for the life eternal is awaiting you. —‘Abdu’l-Bahá Top

A Messenger of Joy A Messenger of Joy is the most comforting and positive book ever written on death and the afterlife. In comforting and uplifting the souls of the grieved, it sets a record that is not likely to be broken for a long time.

Soft Cover, 112 pp (6" × 9") $6.00

The content of this book will diminish your fears of dying. After reading it, we hope you will not become too detached from this world and careless about your health! We hope you will not start a diet of ice cream, coke, cookies, chocolate, and cheesecake! We would like to have you around for a long time to buy more copies of this book to give away! We would like to keep the most urgently needed people on our planet—the angels of Bahá—who are given the honor of establishing God’s Kingdom on earth.

A Messenger of Joy also draws a positive picture of this life—so positive that it may make you too attached to this world. After reading it, you may feel so good about yourself and about your purpose in this life, that you may go on a diet of spinach, yogurt, vitamin pills, and oat bran! You may become extremely devoted to the task of collecting and saving an abundant harvest of virtues as a provision for your final departure from the earth.

A Messenger of Joy is not poetry, but it is written in a poetic language adorned with metaphors and similes. This feature will allow you to read it repeatedly without getting bored. It is written in the style of the King James Version of the Bible and The Hidden Words of Bahá’u’lláh. It is also similar to Kahlil Gibran’s The Prophet. He too imitated the language of the Bible. As you know, Gibran paid the highest tribute to ‘Abdu’l-Bahá and drew a portrait of Him.

Aside from reading and enjoying A Messenger of Joy, you can give it as a gift to:

Those who have lost a loved one.

Those suffering from a fatal disease or from symptoms of old age.

Those who need readings for memorials.

Since it reflects the Bahá’í perspective on death, you can also use it as a means of teaching. It does not directly mention the Bahá’í Faith. It simply prepares the reader for the Bahá’í teachings on the afterlife.

A Messenger of Joy replaces the fear of death with a sense of adventure into the glorious realm beyond. It transforms the devastating sense of loss and separation into the joy of hope and reunion.

It contains two parts. In part I, a heavenly voice speaks to give the earthly ones assurance and comfort, to help them overcome their fears of death. In part II, a spirit, who has left the earth, reveals the joys and glories of heaven. This part is dedicated to Rúhíyyih Khánum.

	A Glimpse of Paradise A Video or DVD on the Afterlife
104 minutes, $18.00

This video and DVD contain a talk given by Reinee Pasarow about her near death vision. This is a state in which the individual shows no vital signs of life, yet experiences life to its fullest. What makes this story unique is this: in her vision, Reinee was guided to become a Bahá’í. She was given several clues by a spiritual being about the Bahá’í Faith. For instance, one of the titles of Bahá’u’lláh—the Blessed Beauty—was revealed to her. She was also told the word “justice” and shown the seat of the Universal House of Justice, exactly as it is built. Reinee had many unusual dreams as a child and altogether three near death visions. We have added an introduction and a conclusion to the video and DVD to make them attractive and meaningful to all viewers, especially to seekers. The introduction and conclusion present Biblical and Bahá’í references to the many clues Mrs. Pasarow received while in the presence of the Being of Light.
