The Story of Baha'u'llah audiobook MP3 file for download.
Brings to life in rich detail the compelling story of the Prophet and Founder of the Baha'i Faith. This book chronologically follows the story told in Release the Sun (Bahá'í Publishing, 2003) and includes the life of the Bab and the dramatic events of the Dawnbreaker era. The Story of Baha'u'llah presents in a clear narrative style the life of the Prophet from His birth into a wealthy and noble family, through His transforming spiritual experience while incarcerated in the infamous Black Pit of Tehran, and over the decades of harsh and increasingly remote exile that followed. Woven into the story are Baha'u'llah's principal teachings and references to historical events and persons that place the development of the new religion in a global context.

Answer to Patricia
See Appendix 2 in The Story of Baha'u'llah for Baha'u'llah's other wives and how they came into His life. I put this information in an Appendix because it was outside the flow of the narrative, and in any case details are sketchy. I am currently writing a book about 'Abdu'l-Baha, which will of course include some of the children but as adults.
Not complete but very helpful
The Story of Baha'u'llah is well written, putting the significant episodes and details of His and the Bab's life into context, so that I finally feel I almost have the full picture. I can't give it 5 stars because the author leaves out completely all mention of Baha'u'llah's (I think) second and third wives and their children, a glaring omission. But the narrator gives a solid performance to a very engaging book.
