Part 2: Recreating Ourselves in the Image of the Master

Baha’i music composer Tom Price delivered six great talks at the 2012 Tennessee Baha’i School, called “Recreating Ourselves in the Image of the Master”.

For those of you who have yet to hear one of Tom’s talks, you’re in for a treat! Tom Price’s talks on The Five Year Plan are still one of our most popular posts ever and you can listen to them here: https://soundcloud.com/bahai-blog/sets/the-5-year-plan-tom-price

In these wonderful talks Tom Price shares six of Abdu’l-Baha’s attributes and looks at how we can learn from them and adopt them into our own lives.

Abdu’l-Baha, (also referred to as the Master) was Baha’u’llah’s eldest son and appointed successor, and He is considered the perfect example of how to live according to the Baha’i teachings. 

We hope you enjoy these talks as much as we do, and please let us know what you think in the comments section and feel free to share this post with your friends. You'll also find a variety of other talks, discourses and lectures here: https://soundcloud.com/bahai-blog/sets/bahai-talks

Happy Listening, and a BIG THANK YOU to Tom Price for this wonderful service!
