Review of God Passes By

Dr. Eyford explains that the book reviews—in Shoghi Effendi’s own words—“the history of the first hundred years of its [the Baha’i Faith’s] evolution [and] resolves itself into a series of internal and external crises, of varying severity, devastating in their immediate effects, but each mysteriously releasing a corresponding measure of divine power, lending thereby a fresh impulse to its unfoldment, this further unfoldment engendering in its turn a still graver calamity, followed by a still more liberal effusion of celestial grace enabling its upholders to accelerate still further its march and win in its service still more compelling victories.”
