It is true that
should a believer read the writings of Covenant-breakers or enemies of the
Cause and permit these words to instill doubts about the truth of Bahá'u'lláh's
Cause such a believer would then be considered as having been infected by the
poison of Covenant-breaking. However, since you returned the book to your local
library upon being informed of the true nature of its contents and told your
District Teaching Committee and your National Spiritual Assembly about the
matter, it is clear that you took the correct steps and should therefore, with
complete confidence, turn to Bahá'u'lláh for protection and guidance, fully
assured that His promise to assist those who turn to Him will be fulfilled.
