What's New

New Books of Great Interest.

Four important books for Meetings. Three new, one just reprinted in a new format.!

Quaker Process For Friends On The Benches

Letters To A Fellow Seeker: A Short Introduction To The Quaker Way

Many meetings give a copy of “Quaker Way” to their Quaker young folks and attenders - and QuakerPress of FGC have just reprinted it in slightly larger format.

I think in future many meetings will want to give new members and certainly any potential committee members or officers a copy of “Quaker Process for Friends on the benches”, from Friends Journal. Three hundred and fifty plus pages of explanation and how to tips for Meeting life.

And lastly the excellent introduction to the Quaker testimonies from AFSC, based on a document from San Francisco Friends School.

Author Interviews

The Art of Faith: An Interview with J. Brent Bill

by Joe Paluck brent bill

We received J. Brent Bill’s newest publication, Awaken Your Senses, at QuakerBooks a few months ago and were impressed by the engaging yet simple sensory-oriented exercises within. As the book goes into a second printing to meet continuing reader demand, we jumped at the chance to interview Brent about the process behind creating this spiritual guide with co-author Beth Booram and about his own personal methods for keeping in touch with the Divine.

Brent, a recorded minister in the Religious Society of Friends, lives in Mooresville, Indiana, where he is the executive vice president of the Indianapolis Center for Congregations in Indiana. He has been a local church pastor in Indiana and Ohio, as well as an adjunct professor at Earlham School of Religion in Indiana. He has written numerous books, short stories, and magazine articles. You can check out some of our other favorite publications by J. Brent Bill here: Sacred Compass, A Modest Proposal, and Holy Silence.
