Well, this was wonderful! The goal of this book is not to convert anyone to become a Quaker. The author explains the basic “testimonies” of Quakerism to help you discover your Inner Quaker: Simplicity, Peace, Integrity, Community, and Equality. Ever since I ‘discovered' the Quakers, I knew I mesh well with its foundational testimonies and practices. I love the Quaker Meeting ‘worship', too. I may or may not pursue this faith, but I will doubtless benefit from its wisdom.
