Famous Christians: In Bahá'í History (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781516845682)

With a background of a Christian home and preparation for the Christian Ministry, I encountered Baha'u'llah and the Baha'i Faith while in graduate school at Vanderbilt University School of Divinity. After declaring my faith in Baha'u'llah, in my understanding that He was the Return of Christ's Spirit to the world, I went back to graduate school to get an MSW in Social Work. Most of my career has been in university teaching and private practice as a psychotherapist. There was a moment of diversion when I starred in two television shows. One was 'Family Counselor, ' shown in Baltimore and several East Coast cities for two years in the early 70's). The other was called 'Crisis Counselor, ' made in Hollywood and shown nationwide on 'Lifetime' cable in the decade of the 80'. After the media diversion, I like to tell people that I have retired three times, once to write these books, once to work in a prison for two years, once to work as a family therapist on military bases in Europe and the US. I came back out of retirement once again to do 'Critical Incidents, ' where I am sent out to counsel people and institutions where some traumatic event has occurred, such as bank robbery or the death of a beloved employee, a shooting, etc. Currently (2017) I am still writing and speaking, doing workshops and doing what I have loved all along to do, namely, connecting with people and sharing and receiving thoughts and ideas with them
