Richly illustrated with historical photographs, this elegant booklet tells the story of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá’s life and service to humanity, and the shining legacy He has left. It describes His role as “Perfect Exemplar” of Bahá’u’lláh’s Teachings and the Centre of His Covenant. It recounts His travels to the West, His humanitarian efforts during the First World War, and many other remarkable achievements. It concludes with a selection of inspiring quotations from His Writings.

‘Abdu’l-Bahá: The Perfect Exemplar has been designed and printed in the same style and high quality format as the booklets about the Báb and Bahá’u’lláh that were produced for their bicentenary years.
