Responding considers 101 questions often asked of Bahá’ís—with each answer written as if given in direct response to a questioner. Filled with interesting facts and useful details to enhance one’s general knowledge, after each answer Responding provides extensive Bahá’í references for each question so readers learn what the Teachings say on a subject. This book is a marvelous new learning aid and reference work for any believer who wants to be a better, more effective and confident teacher of the Faith of Bahá’u’lláh.

In Responding you will find answers to these, and many more, questions:

How can we know if there is a God? Can the existence of a Creator be proven?

Where is God when bad things happen to good people?

How can Bahá’u’lláh prove His claim to be a Manifestation of God?

If all religions come from One Divine Source, as Bahá’ís claim, then why are there so many religions and why are they so different?

What is the purpose of life? Why did God create humans?

Can Bahá’ís prove the existence of the soul and its survival after one’s death?

What do Bahá’ís think about reincarnation?

Why did God give man free will when He foresaw the mess that would lead to?

What makes Bahá’ís think world peace is even possible when aggression and conflict are such ingrained aspects of human nature?

Can you give me examples of some of the “new” teachings of Bahá’u’lláh which Bahá’ís say were not revealed in any religions of the past?

Do Bahá’ís accept that Jesus is God? Did Bahá’u’lláh claim to be God, like Jesus?

The Bible associates certain signs with Jesus’ return—but these have not yet all happened, so how can Bahá’ís say Christ has “already returned”?

Jesus performed many miracles, proving He had the power of God—what about Bahá’u’lláh, did He do any miracles?

The Bible tells us it is complete in truth, that nothing needs to be or should be added unto it—so why would a Christian need Bahá’u’lláh’s teachings?

Born in Seattle, USA and raised in Hawaii as a Bahá'í child, Dale W. Eng left home as a teenager to pioneer during the Nine Year Plan. For more than two decades he, with his wife Náhíd, had the privilege of pioneering in various countries in Asia, including the Philippines, Taiwan, Korea, Japan, and Macau. First elected to service on the National Spiritual Assembly of Taiwan in 1976, and later in 1989 to the National Spiritual Assembly of Macau while living there, Dale has served the Faith in numerous other ways in Asia, Australia, and North America. Possessing a degree in creative writing and a master’s degree in education, Dale’s diverse professional background includes working as a senior technical writer with several multi-national telecommunications companies, being the head of public relations for an Australian community college, serving as co-director of the Bahá'í-inspired bilingual School of the Nations international school in Macau, and as Director of Development for Maxwell International Bahá'í School in Canada. Since his youth, Dale has spoken at or facilitated numerous firesides, public meetings, Bahá'í school courses, and deepenings. The material at the heart of both A Privilege So Priceless and Responding is based upon a popular workshop on teaching the Faith with wisdom which Dale has given in several countries for Bahá'ís who want to be better, more effective and confident teachers of the Cause of Bahá’u’lláh.
