In this book, various aspects of the lives of the apostles, martyrs, poets, and pioneers of the Bahá'í Faith are depicted. Among them are individuals like Mr. Samandar, a renowned merchant and a selfless believer. Another is Na‘im, a first-class poet, a grandson of an Iranian Shah, and a devoted lover. Additionally, Mírzá Haydar-‘Alí is well-known, especially for the extraordinary story of his secret covenant with Bahá'u'lláh.

One of the valuable and noteworthy aspects of this book is its hundreds of images, most of which have not been previously published in the Western world. These images feature many significant and leading Bahá'ís from the early history of the Faith.
