Moses

When Harriet Tubman Led Her People To Freedom

BY CAROLE BOSTON WEATHERFORD, ILLUSTRATED BY KADIR NELSON
Weatherford's poetic narrative and Kadir Nelson's magnificent paintings bear witness to an ecstatic event -- the Spirit of God communing with the flesh-and-blood of true humanity. "In this gorgeous, poetic picture book, Weatherford depicts Harriet Tubman's initial escape from slavery and her mission to lead others to freedom as divinely inspired, and achieved by steadfast faith and prayer. The author frames the text as an ongoing dialogue between Tubman and God, inserting narration to move the action along. On the eve of her being sold and torn from her family, Tubman prays in her despair. In response, God speaks in a whip-poor-will's song."-Publishers Weekly

Mystery Of Quaker Light

Php 385

BY PETER BIEN
Light is the central metaphor in the religious lives of Friends, but not of Friends alone. "The light that lighteth every person who cometh into the world" has served as an image of sacred mystery for ancient Hebrews and Greeks, for Dante, for modern poets, and for theorists on the physics of electromagnetism. What has Light meant to different people throughout the ages? How did various ideas about Light influence the prologue to John's Gospel? What did early Friends understand Light to mean?

Mysticism And Activism

Learning From John Woolman

BY MICHAEL BIRKEL
"First we'll look at some passages from [Woolman's] writings to see how he finds the spiritual life to be a unity, an integrated life of both inward experience and outward action for social change. Next, we can turn our attention to the resources he finds for this integrated spiriutal life. Then we'll see how he takes the language he uses to describe his inward experience of worship and applies it to his outward labors for a just human society....Finally we can consider how his work might inspire us to a unified life, one in which service is an expression of worship and worship is a form of action." -The author, from his opening statements
