In his classic style, the task is fleshed out with stories, poems, personal confessions and a plan - concrete steps for creating "circles of trust" where honest, open sharing allows each person's "inner teacher" to show up - places where we can sit and wait for our souls to tell the truth.

Education In A Quaker Context
BY PARKER PALMER "Much of what I want to say about education in a Quaker context can be organized around one of Quakerism's most central, concrete, yet spacious images: the image of "meeting." Among Friends, of course, there is first the meeting for worship, but then there is the meeting for business, the meeting for marriage, the meeting on the occasion of a graduation , the meeting in memorial of one who has died.... Friends made a simple and compelling point: The common element in both worship and business should be the search for truth - and the expectation that, if we give it space and time, truth will come to us." - Palmer, from the pamphlet

A Celebration Of Contradictions In The Christian Life
BY PARKER PALMER First published in 1980-and reissued here with a feisty new introductory essay-The Promise of Paradox launched Parker J. Palmer's career as an author and his ongoing exploration of the contradictions that vex and enrich our lives. In this probing and heartfelt book, the distinguished writer, teacher, and activist examines some of the challenging questions at the core of Christian spirituality. How do we live with the apparent opposition between good and evil, scarcity and abundance, individuality and community, death and new life? We can hold them as paradoxes, not "either/ors," allowing them to open our minds and hearts to new ways of seeing and being. reduced from $18.95
