Website Redesign and Security
We are pleased to announce the relaunch of the Bahá’í eBooks Publications website that has been rebuilt following a catastrophic crash which resulted in the total loss of our eBook collection. Thank you to the talented and hard-working team at Paradem Consulting for helping us get back on our feet.
We apologise for the inconvenience you may have suffered but our new site is secure and we should no longer be plagued by the many failures and hacks that affected the website over the past 18 months. We ask for your patience as we rebuild our collection but in the meantime enjoy some of the new eBooks we have added.
If you have questions or concerns, please reach us through our Contact form.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will you have books in other languages?
It is our aim to provide the formatted books in French, German, Spanish, Persian and Arabic and are working with various Publishing Trusts and others to move forward to make as many of these eBooks available. Other languages may be added over time.
Why haven’t you used all the proper diacriticals?
Some file formats do not support all the diacriticals used in the Bahá’í Writings. We have used the proper diacritical markings wherever possible.
What if I find an error in one of the books?
Please bring it to our attention, with sufficient detail so that we can find and correct it as necessary.
Will you host my book on your web site?
Generally no, as our primary focus is on the Bahá’í Sacred Writings and making available in digital form ancillary published material when the copyright holder gives us permission.
Will you publish my book for me?
Generally no, as we are a republisher of books rather than a point of first publication of digital books.
Can I host your books on my web site?
No. However, you are welcome to link to our web site. Please let us know if you do this.
What if my device isn’t listed?
We would like to support as many devices as possible. If your device isn’t listed, please let us know.
What browser do I use if my device is an iPad or an iPhone?
If using an iPad or iPhone, you should be able to use not only the Safari browser, but also Chrome and others. The eBook may be downloaded to the FILES app and you should see it in there and then move or copy the eBook into the app you wish to use.
Why don’t you provide Word and PDF files?
Bahá’í Sacred Writings in Word and PDF formats are already available for download at https://www.bahai.org/library/.
Where can I get technical help?
