In Galilee by Thornton Chase on Free Audio Book Download

Thornton Chase (1847 вЂ“ 1912) is commonly recognized as the first convert to the BahГЎ'Г Faith of Occidental background. During his life he organized many BahГЎ'Г activities in Chicago and Los Angeles and was considered a prominent BahГЎ'Г. In 1907 Chase was able to go on pilgrimage. Though Chase was able to be with `Abdu'l BahГЎ in Akka for only three days, the experience transformed him. `Abdu'l BahГЎ, highly impressed by Chase's qualities, conferred on him the title ThГЎbit, "steadfast." On returning home Chase wrote an account of his pilgrimage, which was published under the title In Galilee in 1908. The short work gives a detailed and poignant description of `Abdu'l-BahГЎ's home and family in Akka, as well as a moving description of `Abdu'l-BahГЎ Himself. The work remains one of the most important examples of the genre commonly known as pilgrim's notes. (Summary from Wikipedia)
