There are a lot of beautiful blogs and online sources of information about the travels of 'Abdu'l-Baha, but sometimes it's nice to sit down with a book and immerse yourself in stories of His travels.
"'Abdu'l-Baha in Their Midst" by Earl Redman is a well-researched, comprehensive book about the journeys of 'Abdu'l-Baha to America, the United Kingdom, and Europe.There are many stories of people who met the Master, including Martha Root, Howard Colby Ives, Kahlil Gibran, Lua and Edward Getsinger, Agnes Parson, Louis Gregory, Corinne True, Dorothy Baker, Sarah Farmer, and many more. These names are familiar to many Baha'is, and their stories really come alive through these pages.We follow along with 'Abdu'l Baha's journey and read details of the visits, impressions of those who met Him, snippets of conversations, and quotes from His talks. The book is very readable and you feel as if you are traveling along with Him, absorbing those words of wisdom and witnessing the transformation in those who met Him.
You can buy this book at George Ronald Publishers, an online bookstore like Amazon, or ask at your favorite local bookstore. There is even a Kindle version available. Have you read this book? What are some of your favorite stories?
