Who is Shoghi Effendi? What is the Formative Age and what is the Administrative Order of the Bahá’í Faith? In a highly readable way, this book aims to answer these questions.

It is the last of the four books by Hitjo Garst about the first 120 years of the Bahá’í Faith and is about Shoghi Effendi, the Guardian of the Faith. His life is inextricably linked to the first forty years of the Formative Age and the building of the Administrative Order, which began in 1921. The Formative Age of the Faith was preceded by the Heroic Age, which began in 1844, in Iran, with the proclamation of the Báb, the Herald of Bahá’u’lláh. After Bahá’u’lláh’s Ascension, the unity of His Faith was preserved through ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, just as now and into the future, unity will be preserved through the Administrative Order.

A colorful and richly illustrated Brilliant Star special collector’s edition celebrating the 200^th anniversary of Bahá’u’lláh’s birth in 1817. Suitable for independent readers ages 7-12 or for reading aloud to kids of all ages.

A beautifully written account of 'Abdu'l-Baha's journey in North America in the early part of the twentieth century. For eight months, He traveled across the United States and into Canada, speaking about the Bahá’í teachings. He covered more than five thousand miles and touched the hearts of everyone with whom He came in contact.

This special edition of Voyage of Love, published to commemorate the centenary of the passing of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, includes a new preface from author Amy Renshaw and a selection of discussion questions designed to help junior youth and readers of all ages reflect on ‘Abdu’l-Bahá’s approach to the promotion of race unity and other topics.
