Synopsis

During a turbulent period in their history, nineteenth-century members of the Religious Society of Friends were struggling with a challenging question: what exactly do Quakers believe?

This book is a collection of thirty-five sermons by the well-respected Cincinnati minister Murray Shipley, along with an introduction to the central tenets of Quakerism and how they affected early Friends’ preaching. Through vivid personal anecdotes, imaginative narratives, unusual allegories, and engaging details about life in the 1870s, Shipley invites others to experience a life transformed by the spirit of God.
