These are brief stories of people's lives; various people who all met Baha'u'llah at one time or another during His lengthy incarceration in the Akka (Acre) area and who were dedicated followers. Some stories are only a couple of pages long; the longest ones are 14 and 15 pages long; altogether there are 69 stories in about 200 pages. As usual the author (Abdu'l-Baha) does not dwell on any negative aspects of someone's personality but only the good seen in them. Especially moving are His invocations of blessings on the person (all of whom had passed away) at the close of each story: very brief prayers in heartfelt, moving language also indicating what a great spiritual station He felt each one had attained. And these are all stories about what true religion is supposed to be: they are all in the language of love. Love, sacrifice, humility, are some of the qualities reflected over and over again, though each story is unique.
