Audiobook: The Flame

A group of friends in Melbourne, inspired by Abdu’l-Baha’s impact on the life of those around Him created a Persian audiobook of ‘The Flame.’ by William Sears. It is a biography of the life of Lua Getsinger, which captures many of her interactions with Abdu’l-Baha, as well as the interactions of Abdu’l-Baha with others around Him. An excerpt of the biography is below:

“May Maxwell, who was to become the mother-teacher of Europe, and to open France and Canada to the Faith of Bahá’u’lláh, recorded for posterity her never-to-be-forgotten impressions of her first glimpse of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, and her meeting with Him. ‘... I can remember neither joy nor pain nor anything that I can name. I had been carried suddenly to too great a height; my soul had come in contact with the Divine Spirit; and this force so pure, so holy, so mighty, had overwhelmed me ... We could not remove our eyes from His glorious face: we heard all He said; we drank tea with Him at His bidding; but existence seemed suspended, and when He arose and suddenly left us we came back with a start to life: but never again, oh! never again, thank God, to the same life on this earth!’”
