Spirit Rising

Young Quaker Voices

EDITED BY ANGELINA CONTI, CARA CURTIS, WESS DANIELS, JOHN LOMURIA, EMMA CONDORI, HARRIET HART ET AL.
Spirit Rising: Young Quaker Voices celebrates, critiques, questions, and reflects on the Quaker faith experience. Writing and visual art by teenage and young adult Quakers from around the world and across the theological and cultural spectrum of the Religious Society of Friends give readers a window on the spiritual riches and witness these Friends offer. The contributors in this volume challenge and inspire, as they witness to and celebrate Quakerism as it has been, as it is, and as it could yet be. The voices here come together in a symphony, cacophonous but also deeply resonant. Listen and you will hear that their Spirit - here called by many names - is undeniably rising.

Year Of Grace

A Novel

BY MARGARET HOPE BACON
Margaret Hope Bacon, author of many Quaker related books, brings us a poignant and courageous tale of an elderly, but active, Quaker woman coming to terms with her own mortality in the final year of her life. The author has created a truly inspirational character whose spiritual life, based on a strong Quaker foundation, is reflected at the culmination of her earthly life in a remarkable 'year of grace.' "Beautifully written, this story of a spirit and action-filled last adventure will speak to many conditions, from that of us "oldies" nearing the end of our own journey, to that of the 'youngies' just finding the trail. Bacon reminds us all how adventurous old age can be!"-Boulding
