This authentic record of Abdul-Baha's utterances includes extensive notes of the Master's many public talks and conversations with individuals as well as the experiences they found in America and the daily routine of eating, writing letters and traveling. Mirza Mahmud was a careful and faithful chronicler and engaged in assembling and publishing his work with the permission of Abdul-Baha. The translations in this present volume were read and revised at the Baha'i World Centre. Many newly translated talks of Abdul-Baha are included which are not available elsewhere.
