That this 19th century man could have written such a masterpiece is nothing short of a miracle. In page after page, Baha'u'llah (the author) reveals where man has gone wrong in understanding God and His purpose.
If you are looking for confirmation of what you already believe, this is not the book for you. Read the book of certitude only if you are ready to forget everything you have ever known about God and His religion. Read this if you are searching for the truth.
I read wide-eyed late into the night, unable to put down the book. Eloquently the words flow like the notes in a symphony, resonating with my heart, shaking off a life-time of error and misinterpretation, and leaving me stunned and numb.
No wonder he was banished and imprisoned. Every paragraph is another nail on the coffin of old and dogmatic religious belief.
Expect to hear a lot of negative reviews from the religious organizations, but for God's sake read it for yourself.

In an age where we expect to be spoon fed answers to all our questions, this book challenges us to reach deep inside our hearts, discard the suggestions of everyone else and find the answers to the spiritual questions lurking within. I have to admit that it took more than one reading of this book for me to even begin to appreciate the spiritual answers contained within. On the very first page of the book, it says, "they that tread the path of faith, they that thirst for the wine of certitude, must cleanse themselves of all that is earthly--their ears from idle talk, their minds from vain imaginings, their hearts from worldly affections, their eyes from that which perisheth. They should put their trust in God, and, holding fast unto Him, follow in His way." Thus begins a spiritual journey that the reader will never forget.

A mind-blowing book to read. The Book of Certitude examines the history of Judaism, Christianity, Islam, and the station of Messiahhood in the most eloquent and forthright language. Surely a treat and a must read for the spiritual seeker.

Beware of reviews from people who consider Bahai to be heresy. The Book of Certitude is a triumph as a volume of literate, intelligent, mystical worship. The unfortunate side, as with most torrential floods of worshipful mysticism, lies in the organization of the work. I recommend it, but to make it yours I think you really need to sit and re-organize it for yourself.

Absolutely bad book in terms of legal issues and background
