A great many youth who did not grow up in Bah ' families entered the Bah ' Faith between 1964 and 1973. Although there were those who withdrew from membership or stayed out of touch, a strong cohort of others are still actively engaged in Bah ' communities; I count myself among them. This book presents voices of US Americans who were in their teens or early twenties when they became Bah ' s and have been active believers for the past half century or so. I wanted to explore how the social environment during that eventful decade had influenced this generation's thought processes while seeking and accepting the Bah ' Faith, and what has enabled them to remain actively engaged in it even a half century later, at the time of writing.
