There are so many books out there dealing with Quaker history--why another? The answer lies in that Martin didn't simply regurgitate the same old same old. In a format new (to at least me!), she divided a "Spiritual Journey" into "ten elements":
~~~Awakening: Longing; Seeking; Turning Within
~~~Convincement: Openings; The Refiner's Fire; Community
~~~Faithfulness: Leadings; The Cross; Abiding; Perfection

Each section is divided into two: How the topic in question played out in 17th c., and how it is reflected in the contemporary world.

I predict this will become a modern Quaker classic. 5*****… (more)
