Nightingale (Bahá'u'lláh)

In The Nightingale, Bahá'u'lláh, a short bilingual (English/Spanish) book, Janet Ruhe-Schoen brings the reader along on the life journey of Baha'u'llah (1817-1892), "the Nightingale of Paradise", in simple yet lyrical chapters of linked stories.

Born Husayn Ali Nuri in Iran, Bahá'u'lláh suffered exile and imprisonment for His teachings of oneness that now unify Bahá'í communities world-wide. The Nightingale is an uplifting and moving read, an excellent gift for people newly introduced to the Bahá'í Faith, for families to read together, and for youth.
