The Unfolding Destiny of the British Bahá'í Community : The Messages from the Guardian of the Bahá'í Faith to the Bahá'í Community of the British Isles

Unfolding Destiny is a book of over 800 letters and cables written by Shoghi Effendi, describing the implementation of goals detailed in various Bahá’í manuscripts. Though all of this correspondence was composed between the years 1922 and 1957, the guidance contained therein is applicable even today.

The period covered by these letters and cables is unique in more ways than one. It covers the first thirty-six years of the Formative Age of the Faith of Baha'u'llah, an Age inaugurated by the accession of Shoghi Effendi to the Guardianship of that Faith. It is a period which has witnessed, in human society, the greatest upheavals, the most destructive war, the most widespread disruption of any comparable period in human history. It has witnessed the rise and establishment of the Administrative Order of Bahi'u'llah throughout the earth.
