A Quaker In The Zendo

Php 370

BY STEVE SMITH
"At a time of my life when I had drifted far from my Quaker origins, I found the practice of Zen meditation to be clarifying, healing and liberating. Curiously this Asian spiritual practice led me back to the Society of Friends: the more I practice Zen, the more thoroughly Quaker I become. The spiritual insights of Christianity and Quakerism have regained for me fresh depth, power and charisma. Within the earliest records of Quakerism, in the writings of George Fox and other early Friends, I find - to my wonder and delight - remarkably explicit guidelines for spiritual practice that are often diluted or obscured in contemporary unprogrammed Friends' worship.".

Quaker Journals

Varieties Of Religious Experience Among Friends

BY HOWARD BRINTON
For over three centuries Quakers have used the spiritual journal to record their spiritual life and journeys. Some, especially those of famous Friends, were published; others lay in attics or on the shelves of libraries. Here Brinton looks on them as a whole class for the first time, stressing the importance of examining the original unedited texts. He shows the reality of Quaker ideals and testimonies as actually lived by Friends through the ages.

Approved by the Yearly Meeting of Friends in Ireland in 2006 and published in 2012.

Quaker Ranter Reader

Essays From The Website Of Martin Kelley Aka The Quaker Ranter

BY MARTIN KELLEY
This book is a collection of posts from one of the most popular Quaker bloggers. "The true gift, to me, of Martin's ministry through Quaker Ranter is the opening of a space for people to have these conversations about their experiences. What's wonderful is how the conversation frequently focuses on how people approach naming their self-understanding, and then their subsequent experience of how well - or not - that self-understanding relates back to the local and wider Quaker communities." - Chris Mohr

When Heather Reeves wrecks her Suburban outside Baltimore, Maryland, two elderly Quaker women come to her rescue. Inspired by their radical lives, Heather experiences a summer of awakening and grace.

Unlike many Christian novelists, Samson does not tidily resolve every single problem her heroine faces, but instead paints an emotionally and spiritually luminous portrait of a soul beckoned by God." - Publishers Weekly
