A very very long book! Worth reading for the interesting historical perspective on the Baha'i faith by the great grandson of Bah'a'ullah. Shoghi Effendi is a magnificent writer, having gone to Oxford for his education. His sentences are often as long as a normal paragraph but no one can fault the grammar or the elegance of the sentences. A fascinating history told by the last family member to direct the faith and who established the Universal House of Justice in Haifa.
An extremely important history book---Spiritual History that has shaped the world we live in and the future of humanity...
Meu filho ganhou um nome devido ao que há neste livro...
This is one of the deepest and most weighty books I have read in my entire life.
