“O that I could travel, even though on foot and in the utmost poverty, to these regions, and, raising the call of “Ya Baha’u’l-Abha” in cities, villages, mountains, deserts and oceans, promote the divine teachings! This, alas, I cannot do. How intensely I deplore it! Please God, ye may achieve it.” ~ `Abdu’l-Bahá

Abdu’l-Bahá’s historic journey to North America in 1912 “endowed the United States and Canada, nay the entire continent, with potentialities such as it had never known in its history.”…”He, through that visit, had bequeathed a priceless heritage – a heritage which carried with it the sacred and primary obligation to arise and carry on in that fertile field the work He had so gloriously initiated.”

No sooner had His long and arduous journey ended, the world became embroiled in a global conflict whilst “…He, repairing to the quiet solitude of His residence in the close neighborhood of Baha’u’lláh’s hallowed shrine, continued to communicate His thoughts and wishes to those whom He had left behind…” “In the immortal Tablets… He unfolded to their eyes His conception of their spiritual destiny, His Plan for the mission He wished them to undertake. The seeds His hands had sown He was now watering with that same care, that same love and patience, which had characterized His previous endeavors whilst He was laboring in their midst.” (Quotes from Shoghi Effendi – God Passes By)

Choosing our first title was a challenge, but when we reflected on the current state of the world and our role in changing that world, it became clear that the gift given to the North American believers decades ago was now more timely than ever.

Our good friend and colleague, Adam Mondschein, agreed to voice the audio book and we set about the process of transforming this weighty work into an audio version of the highest quality. Adam’s experience in theater was invaluable in conveying the writings of the Guardian in a way that is at once heartfelt and lofty.

Though it took several months to complete, we are elated with the outcome. We are thrilled to present this audio book of The Advent of Divine Justice to you for your listening pleasure and deepening on the guidance.

Totaling out at over Four Hours, this weighty book is not an audio book to be missed.

The Advent of Divine Justice is Shoghi Effendi’s gift to the North American believers. In it, Shoghi Effendi outlines our destiny and mission while focusing our attention on the challenges, opportunities, and requisites for success in our endeavors to serve the Cause of Baha’u’llah. He pays particular attention to the specific ills afflicting our community which must be conquered through “moral rectitude”, “complete freedom from prejudice”, and observance of “absolute chastity.” What is of unique significance is how Shoghi Effendi devotes more than half of the entire address to the subject of teaching. He outlines the “spiritual obligation” placed before every believer “to make of the mandate of teaching” “the all pervading concern” of their lives. Serving both as a warning signal and a call to action, The Advent of Divine Justice is the guide book for any believer treading the path of service.
