Talks by 'Abdu'l-Baha is a collection of talks given by Abdu'l-Baha - the son and appointed successor of Baha'u'llah, the Prophet and Founder of the Baha'i Faith - during his historic journey to North America in 1912.  Speaking in front of multiple audiences, Abdu'l-Baha offered profound insights on a number of topics in a simple manner accessible to anyone who listened with an open heart.  The talks included in this volume all relate to the theme of the eternal covenant of God, one of the central themes of the teachings of the Baha'i Faith.  According to this covenant, God never leaves humankind alone without guidance but rather makes His will and purpose known to us through the appearance of His Prophets or Manifestations, Who appear periodically throughout history in order to advance human civilization.

Abdu'l-Baha, meaning in Arabic "Servant of the Glory," was the title assumed by Abbas Effendi (1844-1921), the eldest son and appointed successor of Baha'u'llah, the Prophet and Founder of the Baha'i Faith. A prisoner since the age of nine, Abdu'l-Baha shared a lifetime of imprisonment and exile with his father at the hands of the Ottoman Empire. He spent his entire life in tireless service to, and promotion of, Baha'u'llah's cause and is considered by Baha'is to be the perfect exemplar of the Faith's teachings.
