Written by someone who declares himself 'a Buddhist and a Quaker', this is an examination of some of the Quaker practices which have been passed down over 300 years. The book looks at the area of 'practical mysticism', describing a belief system which begins with finding one's own divine light and encompasses simplicity, everyday spirituality and a listening approach. As well as considering Quaker history and applying it to contemporary life, the author lists 'Advices and Queries', guidelines which originate from a set of questions read out at meetings. For anyone seeking a modern approach to this often misunderstood tradition, this book provides a lucid and simply written starting point. (Kirkus UK)
