A Year of Blessings

Book excerpt: This special book of memories shares my reflections on the spiritual blessings and transformative lessons I experienced during my Bayear of service in the Holy Land in (Haifa/Bahji, Israel). The wonderful, sacrificial and rewarding experience of devoting a full year to serve wholeheartedly at the spiritual and administrative centre of the Bahá'í Faith helped me strengthen my connection to God. It also took my appreciation and love for the Faith to a whole new level - one I would never have thought was possible. My hope is that this book can serve as a way to encourage, motivate and inspire youth to undertake a period of service in any field, place, or time in their life; so that as a result they will place service at the centre of their lives, and accompany others to walk this path.
