COVID19 in Guyana - February 2022


 Well it seems that the wave is over. Cases are back down well under 100. The curfew is lifted. I hope people continue wearing masks as the pandemic is not over yet!

Surinam is still following a similar trajectory.

Book announcement: The Bahá'í Faith and Life After Death


 The Bahá'í Faith gives a considerable depth of insight into life after death and the next world. 

This book attempts to review the main Bahá'í teachings on this subject. Included are topics such as God, the soul and prayer. Mention is also made of the NDE (Near Death Experience) phenomenon.

It is hoped that it will increase the readers interest in spiritual knowledge in these difficult times. 

And hopefully give comfort to those who have lost loved ones.

The book is about 70 pages and includes many quotations. The costs are $1.99 for the ebook and $6.70 for the paperback.

Note: all ebooks will be free to download for 3 days during the Ayyam-i-Ha period (Feb. 25 - Mar. 2nd).

Methane polluters

 Methane is a more dangerous greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide. Fortunately it is less common. Recently satellites have been used to pin point sources with a view to stopping it from contaminating the atmosphere. Most is emitted by leaking oil facilities. Guyana is not on the map yet.

Kindle ebooks as paperbacks

 The series is now available as paperbacks at $5.70. I have kept costs down to almost the minimum by converting colour pictures to black and white. Of course they do not have nice clickable links like the ebooks! But they are easier to give to others to read 😊


 The booklets in the series are:

The Bahá'í Faith - A Short Introduction 

The Bahá'í Faith - A Short Introduction for Christians

The Bahá'í Faith - A Short Introduction for Muslims

The Bahá'í Faith - A Short Introduction for Hindus 

The Bahá'í Faith - A Short Introduction for the Seeker 

The Bahá'í Faith - A Short Introduction for Women


And the two related books:

Bahá'í Books - A Short Introduction

The Bahá'í Faith and the Cosmos – A Short Introduction


They have all been revised to some extent, especially the first few. This was partly to get them above the 27 pages threshold for paperbacks.
