Meditations that address the deepest needs and aspirations of the human spirit. Themes include: The Quest for Meaning, The Quest for Understanding, The Quest for Fulfillment, The Quest for Love, The Quest for Peace, The Quest for God, and Psalm 139.

These brief meditations incorporate the hope, celebration, love, compassion, and blessing of the Christmas season and encourage us to find them throughout the year. Features include the poem, The Work of Christmas, When the song of the angels is stilled, When the star in the sky is gone...The Work of Christmas begins...; and I Will Light Candles This Christmas, Candles of joy, despite all sadness, Candles of hope where despair keeps watch. Candles of courage for fears ever present, Candles of peace for tempest-tossed days...

I know that the experiences of unity in human relations are more compelling than the concepts, the fears, the prejudices, which divide. Despite the tendency to feel my race superior, my nation the greatest nation, my faith the true faith, I must beat down the boundaries of my exclusiveness until my sense of separateness is completely enveloped in a sense of fellowship. I will light the candle of fellowship this Christmas, a candle that must burn all the year long. - The Mood of Christmas & Other Celebrations by Howard Thurman

The Growing Edge is a book of Howard Thurman's sermons. For Thurman, the sermon is an act of worship in which the preacher exposes his spirit and mind as they seek to reveal the spirit of the Living God upon them. Thurman presents his sermons in six sections: Concerning Enemies, Concerning Prayer, Concerning God, Concerning Peace, Concerning Festivals, and Concerning Christian Character.

The Eternal Promise: A contemporary Quaker classic and a sequel to A Testament of Devotion by Thomas Kelly with foreword by Howard Macy

The Eternal Promise includes two of Thomas Kelly's classic essays, The Gathered Meeting and Hasten unto God. Published in this edition is an essay, Have you Ever Seen a Miracle?
of which Douglas Steere writes, It is Thomas Kelly at his absolute best and will pierce the hearts of ever so many readers.

In the early 1870s, Murray Shipley-already a well-respected recorded minister among Friends-began making notes about his preaching. We don't know if they reflect his thoughts before he went to meeting, or whether they are notes that he made afterwards; the latter seems more likely. But they give us an almost unique glimpse of the preaching of Gurneyite Friends, who made up the largest of the segments of American Quakerism after 1820.
