To Be Broken and Tender A Quaker Theology for Today by Margery Post Abbott

Mind the Light Learning To See with Spiritual Eyes by Brent Bill
“To mind the light” is a Quaker practice of learning to see God’s light both around and inside us. Depending on its strength, tone, and slant, light changes how we perceive the world and other people. Depending on how we respond to it, illumination can help us grow in appreciation of the spiritual things of life. Minding the Light invites readers of all backgrounds to explore the connected- ness between inner vision and outer perception.

NEW ARRIVAL! Reflections From Silence by Richard Hathaway
What happens when we enter a Quaker meeting? There is silence, certainly, and sometimes from that, spoken ministry; a moment of reflection, inspiration; a movement of the Spirit. Collected here is some of the ministry of Richard Hathaway, a member of New York Yearly Meeting. Each segment is unique—an anecdote, a memory, a line of poetry that suddenly comes to mind, a response to the surroundings. And yet each reveals something of the underlying current of a Quaker meeting, to be open to feeling, light and expression.
