'Fascinating . . . thoroughly enjoyable . . . truly inspirational' Literature Review Panel of the BahÃ¡ Ãs of the United Kingdom

Shoghi Effendi Through the Pilgrim s Eye tells the story of the Guardian s ministry from 1922 when the young Shoghi Effendi, just 24 years old, was charged with guiding the affairs of a worldwide Faith. Rather than a biography, it draws on the diary entries and letters (many now published for the first time) of the many pilgrims and visitors to the BahÃ¡ Ã Holy Places in Haifa and AkkÃ¡, as well as the accounts of those who worked to assist the Guardian in his many extraordinary achievements.

As in all such cases, these recollections must be taken in the spirit of pilgrim notes interesting and thought-provoking highlights and observations, but not any part of the BahÃ¡ Ã Sacred Text. They do, however, provide unique insights and inspiration.

Volume I (1922 1952) covers the years when the Guardian was laying the foundations of the BahÃ¡ Ã Administrative Order destined to culminate in the World Order of BahÃ¡ u llÃ¡h, while at the same time planning and carrying out the extension and development of the Shrines of the BÃ¡b and BahÃ¡ u llÃ¡h, translating the Writings of BahÃ¡ u llÃ¡h as well as The Dawn-Breakers and writing his own major works, as well as facing challenges to his authority and responding to the confiscation of the House of BahÃ¡ u llÃ¡h in Baghdad and the persecution of BahÃ¡ Ãs in Iran and Egypt. The volume ends just before the dramatic decade that was to begin in 1953 with the celebration of the BahÃ¡ Ã Holy Year, the first intercontinental conferences and the launching of the ten-year worldwide spiritual plan to carry the Faith of BahÃ¡ u llÃ¡h to every place on the planet.
