Plain Living

Plain Living

A Quaker Path To Simplicity

BY CATHERINE WHITMIRE
This book is a collection of the sayings of Friends (ranging from Margaret Fell and Isaac Penington to Jan Hoffman and Patricia Loring) which speak to every aspect of living a spiritually centered and simple life. Topics explored include work, plain speech, money and resources, committed relationships, grief, fear, leadings, community, practicing non-violence, spirit-led service and inward simplicity. Each section is followed by queries. An excellent resource for study groups. "Plain Living will be a well-loved, well-thumbed book, touching on every aspect of our personal choices, as ... we try to walk the challenging walk of holy simplicity." - Elise Boulding

Practicing Peace

Practicing Peace

A Devotional Walk Through The Quaker Tradition

BY CATHERINE WHITMIRE
This is an accessible, well presented, comprehensive and fascinating book on the Quaker peace testimony written by the author of Plain Living: A Quaker Path to Simplicity. Stories of successful nonviolent movements throughout history are partnered with quotes from over 350 years of Quaker teachings on peace. Queries lead readers on a journey to self-discovery, through the stages of practicing peace: first by focusing within themselves, then looking outward to practice peace in the world around. Includes a brief biography of each Quaker quoted in the book, a glossary of common Quaker terms as well as a guide to further online resources.
