Shoghi Effendi Through the Pilgrim's Eye tells the story of the Guardian's ministry from 1922 when the young Shoghi Effendi, just 24 years old, was charged with guiding the affairs of a worldwide Faith. Rather than a biography, it draws on the diary entries and letters (many now published for the first time) of the many pilgrims and visitors to the Bah�'� Holy Places in Haifa and 'Akk�, 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 Bah�'� Sacred Text. They do, however, provide unique insights and inspiration. Volume I (1922-1952) covers the years when the Guardian was laying the foundations of the Bah�'� Administrative Order destined to culminate in the World Order of Bah�'u'll�h, while at the same time planning and carrying out the extension and development of the Shrines of the B�b and Bah�'u'll�h, translating the Writings of Bah�'u'll�h as well as The Dawn-Breakers and writing his own major works, as well as facing challenges to his authority and responding to the confiscation of the House of Bah�'u'll�h in Baghdad and the persecution of Bah�'�s in Iran and Egypt. The volume ends just before the dramatic decade that was to begin in 1953 with the celebration of the Bah�'� Holy Year, the first intercontinental conferences and the launching of the ten-year worldwide spiritual plan to carry the Faith of Bah�'u'll�h to every place on the planet. Pilgrims include: Agnes Alexander Effie Baker M�s� and Sam�h�h Ban�n� Victoria Bedekian Lady Blomfield Nancy Bowditch Ted Cardell Stanwood and Nayyan Cobb Amelia Collins Genevieve Coy Ethel Dawe Alice Doolittle Sabr� Elias John Esslemont Nell French 'Al�-Akbar Fur�tan Ugo Giachery Hermann, Anna & Elsa Grossmann Philip Hainsworth Larry Hautz James Heggie Emogene Hoagg Leroy Ioas Marion Jack Dhikru'll�h Kh�dem Ali-Kuli Khan and Florence Abu'l-Q�sim Khur�s�n� Rom Landau May and Mary Maxwell Sutherland Maxwell Margery McCormick Muhammad Mustafa New Zealand Bah�'�s Sadie and Bertha Oglesby Mabel and Sylvia Paine Aziz Panahi Keith Ransom-Kehler Mason Remey Martha Root Ethel Rosenberg Emeric Sala Fred and Lorol Schopflocher May and Isabelle Stebbins Hab�b Taherzadeh Juliet Thompson George Townshend Corinne True Gladys and Ben Weeden Albert Windust
