This is a new hardcover edition of Selections from the Writings of the Báb which contains selections from the Báb’s tablets and addresses: the Qayyumu’l-Asma (the Báb’s Commentary on the Surih of Joseph from the Qur’an); the Persian Bayan; the Dala’il-i-Sab’ih (Seven Proofs); the Kitab-i-Asma (Book of Names); and various other writings, prayers, and meditations.

"...It is hoped that the reader will be inspired by these selections to learn more about the life of the Báb, the Prophet-Herald of the Bahá’í Faith, and to delve into the writings of Bahá’u’lláh—the One for Whom the Bab gave His Life." --National Spiritual Assembly of the Bahá’ís of the United States
