Guide To Quaker Practice

Php 20

BY HOWARD BRINTON
This is an accessible, clear and concise description of Quaker distinctives, beliefs and practices. "For more than sixty years, Friends have used the Guide to Quaker Practice to demystify Friends' customary procedures. Howard Brinton wrote the Guide assuming that somebody would improve on his work as the Religious Society of Friends grew and changed in the second half of the twentieth century. His Guide proved more durable than he anticipated. He described Quaker pra ctice by reference to theology, applying historical precedent insofar as it did not interfere with the clear description of contemporary practice." - Jared Taber, from the new foreword

A Guide To True Peace

Or A Method Of Attaining To Inward And Spiritual Prayer

BY FRANCOIS FENELON, MADAME JEANNE GUYON, MIGUEL DE MOLINOS
This devotional classic was originally produced with the intention of nourishing the spiritual life of believers at the dawn of the Industrial Age. There was a need for a practical guide on what it means to abide in Christ, to live with an active knowledge of the presence of God. Over 180 years later, this book is still entirely relevant. "A Guide to True Peace" is based largely upon the works of Miguel de Molinos, Madame Guyon, and Francois Fenelon, three leading figures in the 17th century European spiritual movement known as "Quietism." They acquired this label through the teaching that God is known through the prayer of inward silence. Pocket sized 4" X 6".

Poems

BY MARY ROSE O'REILLEY
This winner of the 2005 Walt Whitman Award of the Academy of American Poets is a spiritual biography wound backwards, spiraling into the world rather than out of it. Here sacred inquiry is grounded in a passion for the natural world, resolving questions through lyric, erotic, and sensual responses from the Quaker author of Barn at the End of the World.

Have A Nice Doomsday

Why Millions Of Americans Are Looking Forward To The End Of The World

BY NICHOLAS GUYAT
At least 50 million Americans have come to believe that the apocalypse will take place in their lifetime. They're convinced that, any day now, Jesus will snatch up his followers and spirit them to heaven. The rest of us will be left behind to endure massive earthquakes, devastating wars, and the terrifying rise of the Antichrist. But true believers aren't sitting around waiting for the Rapture. They're getting involved in debates over abortion, gay rights, and even foreign policy. Are they devout or deranged? How far does their influence stretch? This is the Australian edition of a British tome by a Canadian.

Have Fun. Learn Stuff. Grow.

Homeschooling And The Curriculum Of Love

BY DAVID ALBERT
Gently and passionately, homeschooling advocate David H. Albert insists that the curriculum of love is not about externals. It is about what is essential in each individual human being, and in every child. Its code words are communication, inquisitivness, acceptance, joy, honesty, and courage. It demands that we assist our children in seeking to embrace a world that is their own, and prepared to render up her secrets. It is about surprises, unveilings, moments of spontaneous recognition, journeys completed and new ones waiting to be undertaken. Have Fun. Learn Stuff. Grow. is a powerful, humorous, fearless, and thoroughly appealing approach to learning.

Healing Ourselves And The Earth

BY ELIZABETH WATSON
This updated booklet is based on a talk that the late Elizabeth Watson presented at the FGC Gathering in 1990. Her challenging insights about the spiritual roots of humans' ecologically destructive behavior are as relevant - and urgent - today as they were then. After surveying the many fronts on which the earth's ecological integrity is seriously threatened, Elizabeth outlined five common beliefs that need rethinking if we are to live sustainable as part of the family of life on this planet. In the process, she demonstrated that Earthcare requires not only a new manner of living on the earth but a transformed consciousness about our place in Creation.

The Heart Of Christianity

Rediscovering A Life Of Faith

BY MARCUS BORG
"[This book] provides a valuable glimpse into the essence of Christianity for those who have left the faith because they no longer believe its doctrines and those who are trying to remain in the faith while questioning its doctrines. With those people in mind, Borg emphasizes the transformational aspect of Christianity by examining the "emerging paradigm" that is gradually replacing the belief-centered paradigm of the last several hundred years. The new paradigm, Borg writes, is about loving God and loving what God loves, rather than rigidly adhering to a specific set of beliefs. . As always, Borg writes with clarity and precision, which should also help the ongoing conversation."-PW

The Heart Of Whiteness

Confronting Race, Racism And White Privilege

BY ROBERT JENSEN
This book is both a cautionary tale for those white people who believe that they have transcended racism, and also an expression of the hope for genuine transcendence. "Very few white writers have been able to point out the pathological nature of white privilege and supremacy with the eloquence of Robert Jensen. In The Heart of Whiteness, Jensen demonstrates not only immense wisdom on the issue of race, but does so in the kind of direct and accessible fashion that separates him from virtually any other academic scholar, or journalist, writing on these subjects today." -Tim Wise, author, White Like Me: Reflections on Race from a Privileged Son

A Quaker Chaplain's View Of The War In Iraq

STORIES AND PHOTOGRAPHS BY COMMANDER SHERI SNIVELY
"Carry your sword as long as you are able", was Fox's advice to William Penn, and Sheri Snively has taken it as well.

Her words and pictures are a poignant tribute to those she met both as staff and patients and she tells their often terrible but inspiring stories beautifully in this quite surprising book. As her commanding officer says to her " you have a unique perspective, I hope you are writing it down"
