A Quaker Book of Wisdom: Life Lessons In Simplicity, Service, And Common Sense

Inspired by George Fox and his Quaker forebears, author Robert Lawrence Smith explores how to harness the inner light of God in each person to guide daily choices and challenges. He believes Quakerism’s beauty and power lie in its exhortation to live simply, truthfully, and charitably. He delves into living and speaking truthfully, listening to and acting on conscience, and making work an expression of one’s best self.

Vivid examples from his life, including Quaker Meeting, World War II, and the Vietnam War, illustrate how Quaker ideals offer practical tools for a meaningful life. His book culminates in a moving letter to his grandchildren, imparting ten lessons for “letting your life speak.”
