Knight with a Briefcase
The Life of Knight of Baha'u'llah, Ezzat Zahrai

In his youth he had set out alone from Iran for Africa to bring the teachings of the Bahá’í Faith to what is now Zimbabwe for the very first time.
As he told his story, Ms Logsdon-Dubois found Mr Zahrai cared very little about the status of wealth, that he had no taste for luxury. She felt he would have unhesitatingly sacrificed his life for the Faith he believed in. Through his adventures in a new land he had become a modern-day knight, a knight with a briefcase.
Judith Kaye Logsdon-Dubois has captured the essence of Ezzat Zahrai his humour and good nature, his business ethics, his strong belief in the oneness of humanity and his passion for telling others about the Bahá’í Faith.
