Description
Call to Remembrance is the first book to tell the story of Bahaullah, the Prophet-Founder of the Bahai Faith, largely through His own words. Combining extracts from Bahullahs writing and supplementing with additional background information, many major events in His life and ministry are presented. This unique compilation chronicles all periods of Bahullahs life, and is organized into five sections. Section One - gives a glimpse of Bahaullahs early years, marked by the advantages of high birth and riches, and characterized by His unfailing solicitude for the poor, sick, and downtrodden. Section Two covers His exemplary period of discipleship to His forerunner, the Bab. Section Three focuses on the birth of Bahaullahs own revelation while He was imprisoned. Section Four surveys Bahaullahs ministry and Section Five examines Bahaullahs provisions for the extension of His authority over the affairs of His Faith through the appointment of His eldest son, Abdul-Baha.
