This book was the first comprehensive biography of this 'magnetic figure' and 'perfect Exemplar' of Bahá'í life, and remains the foremost source for subsequent accounts.

Over 250 pages describe 'Abdu'l-Bahá's journey to the West, the places He visited and audiences He addressed, many of those who were privileged to meet him, and the example He gave in daily life.
The ideals He upheld for all are reflected in a wealth of quotations from His talks.
