A gracefully narrated chronicle, this volume brings to life ‘Abdu’l-Bahá’s epic eight-month voyage across North America in the early twentieth century. Tailored for young adults yet resonant with all ages, it draws on historical records and the Master’s own talks to recreate his speaking engagements at colleges, churches and private gatherings.

At nearly sixty-eight, newly freed from decades of exile and imprisonment in ‘Akká, ‘Abdu’l-Bahá traversed over five thousand miles despite frail health. Each stop became a testament to resilience and compassion as he introduced the Bahá’í vision of unity, justice and harmony. Through Amy Renshaw’s vivid storytelling, episodes unfold—from surprise audiences in modest parlors to formal lectures at prestigious institutions—illustrating how one life of purpose can inspire countless hearts.

Immersed in this journey, insights emerge into the power of steadfast faith in action, the forging of interfaith friendships and the role of individual courage in advancing a global message. The book cultivates a deeper appreciation for the sacrifices and triumphs that underlie transformative leadership.
