Study of Gleanings from the Writings of Bahá'u'lláh. “…the Gleanings from the Writings of Bahá’u’lláh…he [the Guardian] believes, should be the continued guide and companion of every believer, specifically those who are actively engaged in teaching the Cause.

It is his fervent hope that this book will kindle in the heart of all the friends a new light, whereby they will receive a fuller guidance and a greater measure of inspiration in their labours for the Cause.”

(From a letter dated 28 January 1936 written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi to an individual believer)
