Shoghi Effendi - the Servant at the Threshold

Who is Shoghi Effendi? What is the Formative Age and what is the Administrative Order of the Bah??Faith? In a highly readable way, especially aimed at young people, The Servant at the Threshold answers these questions

The Servant at the Threshold is the last of the four books by Hitjo Garst about the first 120 years of the Bah??Faith. This book is about Shoghi Effendi, the Guardian of the Faith. His life is inextricably linked to the first forty years of the Formative Age and the building of the Administrative Order, which began in 1921. The Formative Age of the Faith was preceded by the Heroic Age, which began in 1844, in Iran, with the proclamation of the B墎, the Herald of Bah?u'll墏. The life of the B墎 and His heroic followers is described in the book, The Herald and His Heroes. The book, From Mountain to Mountain, contains forty stories about the life of Bah?u'll墏, the Founder of the Bah??Faith. The Most Mighty Branch, the third book in this series, is about the life and ministry of 'Abdu'l-Bah? the son of Bah?u'll墏. Bah?u'll墏 appointed His Son as the interpreter of His Writings. After Bah?u'll墏's Ascension, the unity of His Faith was preserved through 'Abdu'l-Bah? just as now and into the future, unity will be preserved through the Administrative Order.
