New Quaker? This is a great start.

To be fair, the author recommended it to me for exactly that purpose. But Ben's summary of what he understands as the central nature of what it means to be Quaker, to be one of the Religious Society of Friends, resonated with many of the reasons I chose a Friends Meeting in the first place. I may be new myself, but reading what Ben and others shared here reassured me I'm right at home.

Just Right

This was what I was looking for as Ben explained Living the Quaker Way in a warm relational manner. There are several things the author has helped me to think carefully about. So many religious sects have perimeters that you must stay within; stifling the free leading of the Spirit of God. Listening and learning in community and living out faith in a world so in need of silent intentional nurture.

Where does The Way lead

Jesus showed us the Way to the Father (John 14;6) The Quaker Way is following His example empowered by The Spirit.
To enable this daily life of Love both inward Worship and Outward living Testimonies are central

A lovely booklet, a quick and easy read. I tend to re-read as I'm trying to settle my mind in meetings.

The author's writing is plain and simple, whilst conveying a large amount of information.

This is a beautiful pocket-sized book which i will continue to carry around with me and dip into whenever i have the opportunity or feel the need to reach for some support and comfort. Ben Pink Dandelion is a wise and compassionate writer and a wonderful presence in the Quaker community. This book would appeal to both those in the Religious Society of Friends and those curious about it.
