This book is the second in the series Companions of the Crimson Ark which tells the dramatic stories of some of women and men, young and old, who, in the time of Bahá’u’lláh and ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, entered the Cause of God and, despite many difficulties and hardships, served it until the end of their lives. The stories are remarkable, heart-breaking, and soul-storring. Written in language that will appeal to a wide variety of readers, this book is appropriate for junior youth and up.
Valiant Horsemen of the Merciful introduces us to the martyrs Varqá and Rúhu’lláh; to Mullá ‘Alí Ján and his wife ‘Alavíyyih; and to Mihrabán, the courageous Zoroastrian boy who saved the lives of two Bahá’í pilgrims.
