Letters of Love for Meher Baba,
The Ancient One
Jane Barry Haynes
Hardbound, $25

This collection of letters to one family...form[s] a kind of journal, deeply personal and yet universal because of the unique scribes who penned them: the family and disciples of Avatar Meher Baba, including His beloved Mehera; his sister, Mani; and Elizabeth Patterson [founder of the Meher Spiritual Center in Myrtle Beach SC], as well as Kitty Davy, Adi K. Irani, and Charles Purdom. In particular it was Mani who was Meher Baba's "pen", bringing His spirit of love, purity and selfless service to the ever-growing Meher Baba family across the worls for forty years..."
