Hour of Dawn

The first book in Mary Perkins' trilogy on the lives of the Central Figures of the Bahá'í Faith.

The other books in the series are Day of Glory about the life of Bahá'u'lláh and Servant of the Glory about 'Abdu'l-Bahá.

Here is a clear, straightforward and easily readable account of the life of the Báb. A companion to Day of Glory, about the life of Bahá’u’lláh, and Servant of the Glory, about the life of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá. It begins with the story of the Báb’s childhood in Shíráz, His youth and marriage, and His Declaration on that fateful night to Mullá Husayn, the first to believe in Him. ‘This night,’ said the Báb, ‘this very hour will, in the days to come, be celebrated as one of the greatest and most significant of all festivals.’
