Timeless Quaker Wisdom in Plain Song

Timeless Quaker Wisdom In Plain Song

Timeless Quaker Wisdom in Plain Song by Paulette Meier just released by QuakerPress of FGC!

Here's what people are saying about these stirring quotations, set to lucid, luminous plain song.

“Paulette Meier’s rich voice, unforced singing, meditative pacing, and natural cadences bring the hearer to that inner peace where truth abides. This approach helps liberate early Quaker spiritual power for a new time.”— Doug Gwyn, Quaker scholar, writer, minister and musician

“What a treasure these are! . . . The passages [Paulette] has chosen represent timeless wisdom that all, regardless of denomination, will find inspiring. I now frequently find them coming to mind on my morning prayer walks, which are richer for them.” — Bill Dietrich, former Executive Director, Shalem Institute for Spiritual Formation

“The chants are like prayer beads for me, grounding my spiritual intention to follow my inner guide.” — Rose Marie Cipryk

“[These] songs open a doorway to a spirituality that can . . .‘shake all the country for ten miles round.’ Her voice moves us into God’s heart, leaving us both challenged and comforted—and resting in a place of deep peace.”— Peter Blood-Patterson, co-author, Rise Up Singing

Author Interviews

Angelina ContiI first heard of Quakers United in Publication’s Quaker Youth Book Project back in the spring of 2008 via Facebook. I wasn’t sure exactly what it was, but there was a call for submissions of writing and art by young Quakers from across the theological spectrum. As a young(ish) Friend who’s dabbled in art here and there, it caught my eye. I looked into it a little further and found that a few friends of mine were involved in putting the project together. It seemed they were knee-deep in assembling an anthology attempting to collect young Quaker voices far and wide, from every corner of the Society. It sounded ambitious. I never did end up submitting anything, but I kept the book project on my radar. I thought something interesting might come of it.



Flash-forward two years to the summer of 2010. I’ve just begun interning at FGC QuakerBooks and Spirit Rising: Young Quaker Voices is everywhere. The Book Project’s ambition produced a mammoth volume of art and writing that spoke to a lot of people. I read a little bit and what I took away from it was a sense of the richness and vast depths saturating these young Quaker writers and artists. There was a real expanse to this volume; nothing was left out. It made me reflect on all the different ways people can be Quaker. It also made me think about generations in our faith. Looking back, it was fitting that I first heard about the project through Facebook, such a generational curio. Read more
