description: Thornton Chase believed that "Religion is Life, and Life is Love, and Love is God." This is the story of one of the most significant figures in American Baha'i history--from the time he joined the Baha'i Faith in 1894 until his death in 1912. The author traces Chase's years of spiritual search and yearning, his departure from mainstream Protestant belief, and his discovery of the life and teachings of Baha'u'llah. Despite fierce tests and difficulties, Chase became a leading American Baha'i writer, speaker and organizer. This is one man's spiritual odyssey, a shining example of how to live, love and worship one's Creator.
