A Love Which Does Not Wait (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781925320312)

"They became candles. And winds blew against them mercilessly, violent winds toothed and clawed with war, yet their fragile flames, lit by vision and love, still burn, radiance."

So Janet Ruhe-Schoen describes the nine Bahá'ís brought to life in this engaging and moving book. And who were these Bahá'ís? Shoghi Effendi, Guardian of the Bahá'í Faith, eulogized them all in a cable as a "distinguished band of co-workers." They lived their lives in service to the Faith, and their deaths in places far from their homes were shining examples of the magnificent pioneering services that the North American Bahá'í community rendered during the crucial early years of the Bahá'í Faith's establishment.

Their lives bespoke a love which does not wait and a devotion that knows no bounds.
