God Just Is

GARDNER, CURT
With modesty about his extraordinary personal story, Curt Gardner shows us how experience and spiritual practice can come together in a life grounded in God. Rich descriptions of varying traditions of silent worship are woven into the author's own spiritual journey as a Quaker, which is both difficult at times and deeply moving. Alongside this is practical advice on silent worship, informed by a deep knowledge of the tradition. This book shows how it is possible to move to a state where we don't question the who or what of God, but accept that God just is.

God Raising Us

Parenting As A Spiritual Practice-php 396

BY EILEEN FLANAGAN
When Eileen Flanagan became a mother, her spiritual world was dramatically discomposed. Bringing children into her life required her to find new ways to discern God's leadings; her ways of experiencing connection to the Divine were transformed; and her personal spiritual practices were tried, tested, and ultimately reinvented. In telling her own story - the challenges faced, the lessons learned - she calls on Friends to recognize parenthood as a phase of spiritual development with special gifts and needs, and suggest ways that we may begin to support the faith lives of parents and help our meetings be more fully multigenerational. Discussion questions are included.

God's Dream

BY DESMOND TUTU, DOUGLAS ABRAMS, ILLUSTRATED BY LEUYEN PHAM
Desmond Tutu has a vision of God's dream, which he shares here with the youngest of listeners. It involves people who reach out and hold each other's hands, but sometimes get angry and hurt each other, but can say they're sorry and forgive. It's a wish that everyone will see they are brothers and sisters, no matter their way of speaking to God, no matter the size of their nose or the shade of their skin. Desmond Tutu offers the essence of his Ubuntu philosophy, a wisdom so clear and crystalline that even the smallest child can understand.

God's Government Begun

The Society For Universal Inquiry And Reform, 1842--1846

BY THOMAS HAMM
Growing out of the radical fringes of the abolitionist movement, the Society for Universal Inquiry and Reform set out to found a new social order based on the principles of nonresistance. The Society founded eight utopian communities, which, though short-lived, were the setting for the most radical questioning of antebellum American society. The members of the Society renounced all forms of coercive relationships. They attempted to live without government or private property and to model new visions of work, education, religion, economics, women's rights and roles, and community. This book tells the story of their attempt to transform the world and begin the "Government of God."

God's Healing Grace

Reflections On A Journey With Mental And Spiritual Illness - Php 394

BY MARIELLEN GILPIN
Most of us go about our daily lives assuming that we all participate in one shared reality....'Reality' is not as shared as we may think. Research indicates that 40-80% of people have out-of-the-ordinary experiences at some times in their lives, although talking about it is rare. I commend Mariellen Gilpin for her courage to describe her own unique experiences. We may not all need to name our intense feelings as demons or deal with our demons as the author does, but she does deal with them. The voices of persons labeled with mental illnesses are voices in our communities that need to be heard.

God's Politics

Why The Right Gets It Wrong And The Left Doesn't Get It - A New Vision Of Faith And Politics In America

BY JIM WALLIS
AS NEW SECONDHANDHAND A clarion call to make both our religious communities and our government more accountable to key values of the prophetic religious tradition -- that is, make them pro-justice, pro-peace, pro-environment, pro-equality, pro-consistent ethic of life (beyond single issue voting), and pro-family (without making scapegoats of single mothers or gays and lesbians). Our biblical faith and religious traditions simply do not allow us as a nation to continue to ignore the poor and marginalized, deny racial justice, tolerate the ravages of war, or turn away from the human rights of those made in the image of God.
