Actually, no. I did not read any of Baha'u'llah's Writings before I "declared." I had only read portions of Jessica Gaver's introductory book (which I found at Macy's Dept. Store). When I told the late Counsellor, Hedi Ahmadiyya, that story, he said it was the first good thing he ever heard coming out of Jessica's book! I later met Jessica (just once) at the old NYC Baha'i Center and thanked her for her book. She was a not so active member of that community. Soon after, she left the Baha'i Faith and became a pentecostal. Regards, Mark A.
