About Us

Bahá’í Tools (formerly UnityWorks Store) is a family initiative. Randie, an educator (UnityWorks.org), and her husband Steve, a pediatrician, have been teaching Bahá’í children’s classes, and workshops for youth and adults, since 1971. Parents and teachers have repeatedly asked for these lessons to be compiled into activity books that others could use.

In response, our first teacher’s guide was published in 2001. Randie does the writing and Steve, the editing. Our younger son Jonathan, an ER doctor and talented musician, transforms songs into sheet music. Our older son Jordan, a technology consultant, is in charge of artwork and pre-production, turning print files into beautifully finished publications.

All educational materials have been developed and tested in the field, and have been used successfully in multiple settings over many years. In creating these materials, we have also drawn on our experience as international pioneers to Puerto Rico, where we established a Bahá’í-inspired elementary school and designed the entire K-6 curriculum.

The Gottliebs: Randie, Jordan, Jonathan, SteveOur PowerPoint Firesides and other Bahá’í teaching resources have also been developed in response to needs in the field.

We have enjoyed producing these materials and hope they will assist your own efforts to share the Bahá’í teachings with others.
