Will whet ones interest in the Quakers
Splendid Anthology
A Quaker Reader Is Grateful for this Quaker Reader.
what you didn't know about Quaker's Do not get the impression that this is a textbook on Quaker traditions; it is far from that. The educational component is presented stealthily, through Bill's accomplished selection of writings and his wonderful introductions to each author and each story. The book includes selections from a wide historical and style range of Quaker authors including D. Elton Trueblood, Jessamyn West, James A. Michener, Scott Russell Sanders, and Philip Gulley. The selections are marvelous, but it is Bill's introductions and explanations that really make this book shine. Before each selection Bill gives a brief biography of the author with emphasis on his or her relationship to Quaker tradition. He also sets up each piece with its relevance to some aspect of Quaker life, such as wrestling with the issue of music or the particularities of a Quaker wedding. I came away from each piece feeling like a masterful teacher had just hoodwinked me into learning something about Quakers. Congratulations to Brent Bill for masterfully weaving together a collection of literature from the prolific Quaker tradition.

Quakers -Searching for the inner light
good reading, but not complete I confess I am a little disappointed by the coverage of the 20th century, which is a little light, and does not, to me, fully address contemporary spiritual concerns from a Quaker perspective. In other words, West has done a wonderful job, but there is still a pressing need for a compilation of 20th century Quaker writing.
Quakerism 101 This book does a very good job of giving the reader an understanding of the Quaker faith by offering the reader essays and journal bits from William Penn (a well-known Pennsylvania Friend!) and others, both inside the faith and out. For those interested in the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers), those newly convinced, or for those who just like to read about the beginnings and progress of Quakers, The Quaker Reader is a basic for their library. For other books about Quakers, be sure to read Robert L. Smith's A Quaker Book of Wisdom; and The Quakers by Jean Kinney Williams
A Rich and Artful Historical Overview I loved this book.It led me to myfirst Quaker meeting and a faith that is right for me. However, even if youdo not find stories or concepts in this book that resonate with your ownexperience of God, it is worth reading. William Penn (who was a Quaker) andmany others less well-known played a far more significant role in thehistory of the United States than their numbers would suggest.
An Excellent Series of Essays on Quaker Theology and Conduct The book specifically and fairly acknowledges the scarcity ofFriends' "theology" as an historical matter.However, this isamply supplanted by readings from the works of William Penn and others whowere in a position to speak about the conduct of the Quakers and theireffect on those around them.This 'third-person' perspective provides aunique insight into the lives of those known as the 'Quiet Rebels' in earlyAmerican history and provides for a stimulating and educational readingexperience.The editor should be credited with her fine selection ofQuaker readings. In short, the book is an excellent survey of Quakerthoughts and actions throughout history.By the time one reaches the endof this book, the reader should find themselves in the rather enjoyableposition of feeling as though they know a 'Quaker'. ...

Our Quaker Ancestors: Finding Them in Quaker Records
Don't let this book scare you! Oh, you think I'm kidding. But I'm not. Let me quote from page 32, emphasis from the book itself: "LEARN THE ELEMENTS OF THIS MONTHLY MEETING WELL. FOR IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO DO ANY VALID AND COMPREHENSIVE RESEARCH WITHOUT MONTHLY MEETING RECORDS. THEREFORE, IT FOLLOWS THAT THE MONTHLY MEETING OF AN ANCESTOR MUST BE KNOWN BEFORE ANY MEANINGFUL RESEARCH CAN BE DONE. WE CANNOT EMPHASIZE THIS POINT ENOUGH." This is the general tone of the book. All capital warnings are placed throughout. The above paragraph, by the way, is just telling you that you have to know where your ancestor lived and worshipped to be able to find out more about them. In reality, not so scary, eh? Now, this book has its place. It has some informative background on Quakers and Quakerism, a nice biblography and a brief rundown on repostitories of Quaker Meeting records. Also, it reflects the year it was written in (1987) which was just prior to the popular boom of genealogy, and so its dryness is not atypical. However, it should have been so much more. There should have been more on migration, and what that means to the researcher. For example, as soon as one of my ancestral Quaker families was all nicely settled in a town with great record keeping, they would pick up and move to the frontier! This was very common for Quakers who, for various reasons, wanted to move away from societies based on other religions. There should have been at least one migration map. The only maps included are reprints of certain meetings locations from an 1860 book, which to top it off, have no actual land behind them, leaving you with no more than a bulleted list. Although I know the subtitle of this book is "Finding them in Quaker Records" I think one or two paragraphs should have been spent directing researchers to other records you would be likely to find Quakers in. You will most certainly find an ancestor or two in 'Loyalist' records of various kinds (as if you weren't pro-war, that immediately made you a loyalist during the revolution.) You will find them in court records (the Quakers even had their own courts in the 17th century colonies.) You will find them in land records and every other sort of non-religious civil record out there. You just have to keep in mind that your ancestors were Quakers, along with the implications of that, as you search. To be honest I was very surprised that the Quaker Courts and Loyalist angles weren't even mentioned here as they are specifically relevant to Quakers. They also should have covered emigration records. Before 1800 many Quakers emigrated together, and the first ships to come to the colonies because of Penn are well documented. Also, there are several times in this book the authors do not go into detail on subjects. They do not offer you reference, but refer you to other works which are usually difficult to find. They also do not approach Irish Quakers, which is a mistake, as Ireland was home to so many Quaker emigres of the 1700's. You will often find that an English family fled to Ireland first before making it to the colonies. Besides being sparse, in the end this book does more work telling you what you're NOT going to find rather than what you WILL find. The last chapter itself was placed to give the reader 'words of encouragement' but then just goes on to tell you how difficult your search will be. An appropriate ending to this book, but inappropriate for an author trying to inform and interest a reader. If you have pre-1800 Quaker lines you are going to have to buy this book. There are no other books like it on the market. Just don't be intimidated by it. Instead, use its core information and not its commentary. ... Read more |

Dolley Payne Todd Madison This children's book does a good job of describing Dolley Madison to young people.It is an interesting blend of fact and fiction.Much of the dialogue is surely made up by the author.But the dialogue serves the purpose of showing kids what life was like for Dolley in her early years. And it provides an idea of how she may have thought as a child. This book also contains many black and white illustrations showing various events from Dolley's life. Dolley Payne grew up on a plantation with slaves near Richmond, Virginia.Her father, John Payne, was a Quaker who fought in the Revolutionary War.After the War, Payne freed his slaves and moved the family to Philadelphia.Unfortunately, Mr. Payne was more successful with his plantation than he was as a Philadelphia businessman. In Philadelphia, Dolley met her first husband, John Todd. Unfortunately, Mr. Todd and their baby died from yellow fever.Dolley also contracted the fever but survived. Aaron Burr was the unlikely matchmaker who brought Dolley and James Madison together.Eventually, the couple moved to Washington, DC, from Philadelphia. Dolley acted as hostess at the White House during Jefferson's Presidency. And then she was First Lady in her own right during James Madison's Presidency.During that time she was the only First Lady who had to flee the White House because of a British invasion. Dolley Madison was pretty, warm and cheerful. She brought happiness to many.So children and adults can both enjoy this uplifting book. ... Read more |
