Dear Ahang,   The same thing is true for me and my son, on both counts. Only I suffered through the *entire* Book One. I took Neil to the Holy Land with me in December of 2000. Mr. Furutan had quite a talk with him about the Covenant and the necessity of reading the Writings every morning and evening. Last year when I had made some disparagingly comment about Ruhi, Neil said to me, "Mom, I've been reading the Writings ever since that meeting with Mr. Furutan but the Writings are hard to understand. Ruhi helps." Neil had been reading the Writings fluently at Feast since he was eight years old. It never occurred to me that he might not understand what he was reading.   I must say, Neil made the best argument for Ruhi I've heard thus far.   warmest, Susan __________________________________________________ You are subscribed to Baha'i Studies as: mailto:archive@mail-archive.com To unsubscribe, send a blank email to mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To subscribe, use subscribe bahai-st in the message body to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Baha'i Studies is available through the following: Mail - mailto:bahai-st@list.jccc.edu Web - http://list.jccc.edu/read/?forum=bahai-st News - news://list.jccc.edu/bahai-st Public - http://www.escribe.com/religion/bahaist Old Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/bahai-st@list.jccc.net New Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/bahai-st@list.jccc.edu
