A comprehensive and practical how-to guide of all the many ways that Quakers develop spiritual practice

[Neil Saltmarsh · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a great book about listening to God and to others. I am particularly drawn to Quaker spirituality because of this waiting for God to speak to us rather than doing things on our own initiative. This is a comprehensive review of the different aspects and while I probably won't continue with Vol 2 because I don't have that corporate spirituality that these books will entail, this book is excellent. I like the further reading in the chapters which comes from differing traditions. If you are interested in praying in silence and waiting for what God has to say to us, I don't think you could find a better book and if you do, I would like to know of it.

Loring's book really spells out how to worship Quaker-style. It answers many questions people may have about this group, but more importantly helps individuals understand how to practice this type of worship and apply it to their own lives. Contains many interesting resources for further reading. Best of all are the queries which require some internal exploration of your thoughts and actions.
