The Valiant Life of Charles B. Purdom

Bob Mossman, Paperback 386 pages

When Charles Purdom first met Meher Baba in 1931, he had an instant recognition and conviction. He went on to write a biography of Meher Baba titled The Perfect Master, which was later updated to what is now The God-Man. He also edited a collection of Meher Baba's discourses for a Western audience, called God to Man and Man to God.

Purdom's life was a diverse one: founder of utopian towns, lover of Shakespeare and theater, journalist, author, and publisher. The father of four wrote 20 books over a 50-year period on the subjects he loved most – Meher Baba, the theater, and model towns. Charles Purdom served his “Perfect Master,” Meher Baba for 34 years. This is the biography of Meher Baba's biographer.
