Quaker Ranter Reader

Essays From The Website Of Martin Kelley Aka The Quaker Ranter

BY MARTIN KELLEY
This book is a collection of posts from one of the most popular Quaker bloggers. "The true gift, to me, of Martin's ministry through Quaker Ranter is the opening of a space for people to have these conversations about their experiences. What's wonderful is how the conversation frequently focuses on how people approach naming their self-understanding, and then their subsequent experience of how well - or not - that self-understanding relates back to the local and wider Quaker communities." - Chris Mohr

A Quaker Response To Christian Fundamentalism

A Curriculum For Friends

BY SALLIE KING
"The objective of this curriculum is to help our Quaker youth understand Christian fundamentalism and our differences from it, so that they will not be intimidated, overpowered or confused in their interactions with their Christian fundamentalist peers. The goal is not to enable our youth to argue better with fundamentalists, but to understand their own religious tradition better in the context of a prevalent challenge that they face in the world today. While they are likely to find many points of difference from their fundamentalist peers, they may also find some points at which they may be able to build bridges of understanding." - from the author's introduction

Quaker Summer

A Novel

BY LISA SAMSON
When Heather Reeves wrecks her Suburban outside Baltimore, Maryland, two elderly Quaker women come to her rescue. Inspired by their radical lives, Heather experiences a summer of awakening and grace. "Samson's unflinching exploration of childhood bullying, as well as inner-city poverty and drug culture, are rivaled only by her portrayal of the soul-desiccating acquisitiveness in which many Christians engage.... Unlike many Christian novelists, Samson does not tidily resolve every single problem her heroine faces, but instead paints an emotionally and spiritually luminous portrait of a soul beckoned by God." - Publishers Weekly

Quaker Views On Mysticism

Php 375

BY MARGERY POST-ABBOTT
This pamphlet grew from the author's search for ways to interpret and respond to the joyful, but none-the-less, life shattering, mystical experiences that have transformed her life.

Quaker Witness As Sacrament

Php 397

BY DANIEL SNYDER
What happens when we understand prayer as a kind of "inward activism" and political witness to Friends testimonies as a kind of "outward prayer?" Dan Snyder has wrestled with the apparent dichotomy between the pulls of an inward call to a spiritual life of contemplation and an outward call to respond to the problems of the world. He has concluded that rather than competing with each other, these two calls are parts of a single whole that must be joined if he is to be faithful to either. The author offers his own insights and the shared discoveries that have emerged from exploring these questions with students at Pendle Hill. Discussion questions included.

A Quaker Woman's Cookbook

The Domestic Cookery Of Elizabeth Ellicott Lea

BY ELIZABETH LEA, EDITED BY WILLIAM WOYS-WEAVER
Published in 1846 this is a classic of American cookery, collecting basic rural recipes in a way no other book did. The recipes are simple and delicious. The book also includes such things as cures for chilblains and instructions on how to air mattresses. Elizabeth Ellicott Lea's Quakerism pervades the book and William Weaver, in his long and comprehensive introduction, places her in the Quaker world of the time, and seeks to explain the Quaker "politics" that meant this successful book was never mentioned in her obituary or in the Quaker journals of the time, whilst another by a Unitarian was.

Quakerism

A Religion Meaningful For Today's World

BY PHILADELPHIA YEARLY MEETING
"I was delighted when Quakerism: A Religion Meaningful for Today's World was produced because it covers what I wish to convey in brief, easily readable form. I particularly appreciate the mix of information about beliefs (including brief information about the testimonies), history, accomplishments, structure, practices, and resouces. The inclusion of illustrations is critical to lighten the text, making the text less dense and formidable-looking to the novice inquirer. The illustrations make it great for young people down to middle school age - a great need!" - Peggy Morscheck Each $2.50 for fewer than 10, Each $2.00 for multiples of 10, each $1.00 for 100+.
