About this listen
HearTheWritings is pleased to announce the release of the unabridged audiobook of The Will and Testament of Abdu'l-Baha. This incredible document, from the pen of Abdu'l-Baha, is a cornerstone of the Administrative Order of the Baha'i Faith. Read by the acclaimed actor Phillip Hinton, this audiobook is a must-have for all Baha'i libraries.
Shoghi Effendi referred to it as: “The Document establishing that Order, the Charter of a future world civilization, which may be regarded in some of its features as supplementary to no less weighty a Book than the Kitab-i-Aqdas; signed and sealed by ‘Abdu'l-Baha; entirely written with His own hand; its first section composed during one of the darkest periods of His incarceration in the prison-fortress of Akka, proclaims, categorically and unequivocally, the fundamental beliefs of the followers of the Faith of Baha'u'llah; reveals, in unmistakable language, the twofold character of the Mission of the Bab; discloses the full station of the Author of the Baha'i Revelation; asserts that 'all others are servants unto Him and do His bidding'; stresses the importance of the Kitab-i-Aqdas; establishes the institution of the Guardianship as a hereditary office and outlines its essential functions; provides the measures for the election of the International House of Justice, defines its scope and sets forth its relationship to that Institution; prescribes the obligations, and emphasizes the responsibilities, of the Hands of the Cause of God; and extolls the virtues of the indestructible Covenant established by Baha'u'llah.” (Shoghi Effendi, God Passes By, P.238)

No sooner had His long and arduous journey ended, the world became embroiled in a global conflict....

The trauma that our world experienced in recent years—as result of both the pandemic and societal tensions that threaten to overwhelm us—has been unprecedented and is not going away anytime soon. It is clear that existing political and economic systems are not enough to bring the change that the world needs. In this book, Rainn Wilson explores the possibility and hope for a spiritual revolution, a “Soul Boom” in order to address today’s greatest issues—mental health, racism and sexism, climate change, and economic injustice.
