This biography of a great Irishman is the story of a man with a vision. It reveals the response of a sincere Christian, who reached high rank in the ecclesiastical hierarchy, to the modern and rapidly advancing BahA'I Faith. George Townshend renounced his Orders in the Church 'in order to be loyal to Christ as I know Him' and to proclaim publicly that the Faith of BahA'u'llAh is the long-awaited 'return' promised in the Gospel.

At the age of seventy he willingly accepted all the hardships this entailed.
The story itself is adventurous and of wide-ranging interest....
