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...
