This is one of the more unusual hymnals I own, especially since it was put together by the kind of Quakers who sit quietly in meeting awaiting the prompting of the Spirit. It includes a wide variety of music, from traditional hymns to modern folksongs, but all with a wonderful spirit. It's hard to page through it without wanting to sing.
An introduction to Quaker history, beliefs, testimonies, and practises. Plain language, well suited to young and older Friends alike. Author Signe Wilkinson also contributes humorous cartoons that poke gentle fun at Quaker peculiarities but help explain them as well.
Current Quaker hymnal. Put together with much thought and careful choices. A lot of really great, inspiring, and joyful music. It would be wonderful if it was put to greater use.
Outstanding revision of older outstanding guide for first day schools. Teaching bibliography of children's books included.
