## What is Baha'i Library?

Search through the sacred Bahá'í writings and Guidance, find your favourite quotations and save those in your own categories.

See what friends around the world say about One Ocean:
***** ~ "Have been hoping for an app like this for years - and here it is!!" - United States

***** ~ "I love this app. The first thing I did was search for my favourite quotes and they were so easy to find easier than using iBooks etc." - Australia

***** ~ "Excellent Baha'i app - Very easy to use" - Spain


This App is optimised for performance and beauty, with over 30 Books by The Báb, Bahá’u’lláh, ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, Shoghi Effendi, the recent UHJ letters and a complete Baha'i Prayer Book. 
All put together in a compact download size, offline, in your pocket. 

Anywhere, anytime, you will be able to look up the Baha’i Writings, find quick inspiration, remember your quotations or simply look up a topic. 
Freedom is to be able to immerse in this Ocean of His word, wherever and whenever you want. For the people who travel to remote places, who are sitting on the long bus ride home, who are on the air plane crossing the atlantic, who are traveling in a country that restricts the access to the internet, for every Baha'i who loves technology, this App is for you.

It would take to much space to write a list of all the features included in One Ocean. After all it's free, download it and find out for yourself. If you are a Baha'i, you have an iOS device, then there is no excuse for not having downloaded this App.

~~ transform the way we collect the Writings, transform the way we see technology ~~

" Indulge not your bodies with rest, but work with all your souls, and with all your hearts cry out and beg God to grant you his succour and grace. " 
~ `Abdu'l-Bahá
