500 _aThis is the hilarious story of a poor boy from the Middle West who became one of America's topflight TV stars. But he was bothered with a boyhood dream and eventually left the big time. He made his home in three continents and became a much-loved world traveller. Through all the laughter - and it's uproarious at times - there is an underlying serious note, and the fact that his dream came true and brought him long-sought spiritual assurance is a considerable satisfaction to the reader.
501 _aThe unpretentious and witty story of the author's youth and conversion to the Bahá'í Faith. Sears left broadcasting to travel the world expounding the Bahá'í Cause.
