Shoghi Effendi Through the Pilgrim's Eye V1

by Earl Redman

The story, through the eyes of those who were there, of the Ten Year Crusade, including the tragic and untimely death of Shoghi Effendi in 1957 and the decision by the ‘Chief Stewards’ of the Faith, the Hands of the Cause of God, to carry forward the Guardian’s Plan to its successful conclusion and the establishment of the final piece in Bahá’u’lláh’s Administrative Order, the Universal House of Justice. 

The two volumes of Shoghi Effendi Through the Pilgrim’s Eye tell the story of the worldwide spread of the Bahá’í Faith from 1922 to 1963. They draw on the diary entries and letters (many now published for the first time) of the many pilgrims and visitors to the Bahá’í Holy Places in Haifa and Akka, 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 Bahá’í Sacred Text. They do, however, provide unique insights and inspiration.
