I am excited to share a new book by Amos Smith, Holistic Mysticism: The Integrated Spiritual Path of the Quakers.
(Amos wrote the Foreword of my book, Sitting with God.)
I am thrilled that it is also from my publisher, Anamchara Books.
When people hear the word Quaker, their first association is often oats, motor oil, or the Amish—but oatmeal, automobile lubricant, and avoiding electricity have nothing to do with the Quakers’ holistic mysticism.
What is central to Quaker spirituality is the Divine Center, an inner sanctuary where the very Presence of God dwells.
As Quaker theologian Rufus Jones wrote: “The kingdom of God is not a place where we go, but a state of being we can live in.”
And we don’t need to take the journey by horse and buggy!
