Can looking back at scripture and the experiences of early Friends help us discover a new dimension of our faith? This week's featured titles seek to provide possible answers to that question. A new 20th anniversary edition of Heaven on Earth draws connections from Quaker history to shed light on the experience of Friends today, while Be Still and Listen explains that to truly experience the Divine in our lives, we must become better listeners.
In the Light,
