Simplicity in forms of worship, opposition to violence, and the importance of listening and compassionate living are some of the hallmarks of the spirituality of the people called Quakers. From their beginnings in 17th-century England until today, the Quakers have attempted to radically live out their belief in the presence of God’s spirit within their hearts.

Featuring the writings of George Fox, John Woolman, Caroline Stephens, and Thomas Kelly, this volume provides a clear portrait of the beautiful, simple spirituality of the Friends.
