The Spirit of the Quakers by Geoffrey Durham
Who are the Quakers, what do they believe, and what do they practice? The Religious Society of Friends - also known as Quakers - believes that everyone can have a direct experience of God. This title explains Quakerism through quotations from writings that cover 350 years, from the beginnings of the movement.
"They [the Quakers] are fascinating. . . Durham directs the reader to the movement's most articulate members. . . . The reader sees what goes on in Quaker meetings [and] how inspired members have contributed to social change in many areas."--Susan Salter Reynolds, Los Angeles Times
