Rediscovering Grace In An Ungracious World
BY JAMES MULHOLLAND AND PHILIP GULLEY In If Grace Is True, pastors Philip Gulley and James Mulholland revealed their belief that God will save every person. They now explore the implications of this belief and its power to change every area of our lives. They attempt to answer one question: If we took God's love seriously, what would our world look like? Gulley and Mulholland argue that what we believe is crucial and dramatically affects the way we live and interact in the world. Beliefs have power. The belief in a literal hell, where people suffer eternally, has often been used by the Church to justify hate and violence, which contradict what Jesus taught about love and grace. The authors present a new vision.

"Gulley and Mulholland's stirring manifesto on the central role of universalism in Christianity will provoke traditionalists and encourage new ways of thinking about the nature and purpose of the Christian faith." - Publishers Weekly

Essays In Radical Quakerism
BY DAVID BOULTON What do we mean by "God" in the 21st century? If we say God is "real," do we mean the reality of things that have an independent existence, like daisies, or the reality of wholly human values like love, compassion, beauty and justice? These are the questions tackled in the title essay in this collection, the first of 15 articles which seek to make a contribution to the exploration of radical Quaker and religious humanist ideas. David Boulton discusses such diverse issues as mysticism and mystification, the historical Jesus, and the nature of religious experience.

My Experience Of Quakerism's Greatest Gift
BY SALLY RICKERMAN "Like many other members of the QUF [Quaker Universalist Fellowship], Sally believes that the very essence of Quakerism rests in accepting the possibility that every human being may have a direct and personal relationship to God, the Tao, or the spiritual universe-whatever name one chooses-independent of belief, creed, clergy, or organization. Paradoxically, this extreme of individual seeking finds expression in a community of support, love, and mutual Discernment. The resulting tensions between individualism and universalism, freedom and community, are mediated, Sally finds, by trust. ..." - Rhoda R. Gilman, editor's introduction.
