Synopsis: A Publishers Weekly “Top 10 in Religion” selection.
“This is nothing less than the gospel itself…a much-needed book.”
—FR. RICHARD ROHR, OFM,
Center for Action and Contemplation, Albuquerque, New Mexico
“Living the Quaker Way is a treasure trove of practical wisdom about what it means to bear witness to our hope for a better world.”
—Parker J. Palmer, author of Let Your Life Speak
Philip Gulley invites us into a bracing encounter with the rich truths of Quakerism—a centuries-old spiritual tradition that provides not only a foundation of faith but also vision for making the world more just, loving, and peaceable by our presence.
In Living the Quaker Way, Gulley shows how Quaker values provide real solutions to many of our most pressing contemporary challenges. We not only come to a deeper appreciation of simplicity, peace, integrity, community, and equality, we see how embracing these virtues will radically transform us and our world.
Living the Quaker Way includes a 30-day spiritual practice that applies the Quaker tradition of Queries.
