Although this compilation is significant for Bahais who prepare to commemorate the centenary of Abdu'l-Baha's journey to North America, His teaching on the Eternal Covenant will help all people appreciate the way God has guided mankind by sending Divine Messengers. In honoring this Covenant, we bind ourselves to our Creator and keep our own promises to walk the "mystical path with practical feet". Abdu'l-Baha is a perfect example for all mankind, man and woman alike. A study of His life and teachings is one way to understand our relationship with God. To Baha'is, He is "The Center of the Covenant".
