About this listen

This collection of inspiring and uplifting talks documents an extraordinary series of public addresses ‘Abdu’l-Baha'i gave on his historic trip to the West in the early 20th century. Despite advanced age and poor health, he set out from Palestine in 1911 on a momentous journey to Europe and North America to share the teachings and vision of the Baha'i Faith with the people of the West.

Addressing such subjects as the nature of humankind, the soul, the Prophets of God, the establishment of world peace, the abolition of all forms of prejudice, the equality of women and men, the harmony of science and religion, the causes of war, and many other subjects, ‘Abdu’l-Baha spoke in a profound yet simple manner that transcended social and cultural barriers. His deep spiritual wisdom remains as timely and soul-stirring as it was nearly a century ago.

‘Abdu'l-Baha, meaning “Servant of the Glory,” is the title assumed by ‘Abbás Effendi (1844–1921)—the eldest son and appointed successor of Baha’u’llah, the Prophet and Founder of the Baha’í Faith. A prisoner since the age of nine, ‘Abdu’l-Baha shared a lifetime of imprisonment and exile with his father at the hands of the Ottoman Empire. He spent his entire life in tireless service to, and promotion of, Baha’u’llah’s cause and is considered by Baha’ís to be the perfect exemplar of the Faith’s teachings.

Wisdom the world sorely needs!

The principles and ideas in this book are what the world sorely needs for peace and harmony. I loved listening as it always changed my energy and uplifted my spirit to focus on the grand vision enshrined in Baha’u’llah’s teachings.

The audiobook narrator has a wonderful voice and did an excellent job with two exceptions. I cringed each time he pronounced “Baha’u’llah” and “illumined.” Perhaps he was improperly coached, but it is so disappointing to hear the name of the Founder of one’s religion pronounced so awkwardly. If he was going for a Middle Eastern pronunciation, he should have just stuck with the way American Baha’is pronounce the name because he is an American narrator.

Otherwise, I was so happy to finally “read” this wonderful book.
