Description
Perhaps there is no more fitting occasion to revisit this beloved book by one of the great Bahá'í authors than the centenary of 'Abdu'l-Bahá's passing. Within the pages of The Sheltering, Branch Marzieh Gail offers a tribute to the life and teachings of 'Abdu'l-Bahá's, highlighting His words and actions, and giving the reader a fleeting glimpse of the days in which He lived. Gail presents passages from the writings and talks of 'Abdu'l-Bahá and draws on the memoirs of her mother, Florence Breed Khan, who spent time in His presence, to craft this lovingly rendered portrait.
