The Gift Of Quaker Spirituality
BY BRENT BILL "There is the silence of monastic discipline, of contemplative prayer, of Zen meditation - but the particular ways of Quaker silence are distinctive. And that distinctiveness has contributions to offer across spiritual traditions. J. Brent Bill, in this beautiful reflection on the Quaker practice of silence, makes these gifts available to a wide range of contemporary readers. . My counsel to you regarding the book is this: find a quiet place, settle down with the book, and listen for holy silence." - Stephanie Ford for Friends Journal

Learning To See With Spiritual Eyes
BY BRENT BILL This profound little book invites readers to see both their inner and outer lives with spiritual eyes. "To mind the light" is a Quaker practice of learning to see God's light both around and inside us. Depending on its strength, tone, and slant light changes how we perceive the world and other people. Depending on how we respond to it, illumination can help us grow in appreciation of the soulful things of life. Minding the Light invites readers of all backgrounds to explore the connectedness between inner vision and outer perception, between the life of the soul and the every day of life before us.

For The Revitalization Of The Quaker Message In The United States
BY BRENT BILL "I was not so much interested in the institutional survival of the Religious Society of Friends (and it's various structures) as I was a recapturing of the vitality of the Quaker understanding of the Gospel,-- a Good News that combines the story and work of Christ Jesus with the amazing power of the testimonies as an understanding of how the Gospel is to be lived..." aThis is a compilation of blog posts from Brent Bill. A .pdf file - Brent gave this file to us to sell at a minimal cost to assist in raising money for the booktore. We will send it to you the day after you order.

The Way Of Spiritual Discernment
BY BRENT BILL A compass makes a good metaphor for our spiritual lives and the work of discerning God's will for them. the divine compass points us the mind and love of God. Our sacred compass operates in our souls and calls us to life with God. The sacred compass leads us on a life of pilgrimage - a hike to wholeness and holiness. Keeping our soul's eyes on the sacred compass leads us to the holy discovery that we can move through life with purpose and promise, even in those times when we may not sense with certainty what that purpose and promise are. "Brent Bill has written one of the finest books on discernment and divine guidance that I have seen in a very long time." -Richard J. Foster
