    Annice Carter (1902-1988) was born on a farm in Indiana, yet her life came to encompass the breadth of the United States as well as service in Palestine and Africa. She was a direct witness to conflict in the Middle East, dodged German U-boats during World War II, and encountered the anti-colonial movement in Kenya. Although spiritually rooted in Christian revivalism of the early 1900s, she grew to have an expansive, non-doctrinal understanding of her faith. Born in horse and buggy days, she made her first trips to Palestine on a steamer and her last one on a jet plane. In this extensive biography of a Quaker missionary, drawn primarily from thousands of her own letters, the complexity of a fascinating life is revealed - as well as fascinating details of complex issues of the 20th century.

    Can mystics be political activists? Can our encounter with God inspire us to be agents of social transformation? Through the lens of Howard Thurman's life and mystical theology, Bruce Epperly explores what it means to join prophetic ministry with personal and social healing. Despite the racism he experienced throughout his life, Thurman joined his spiritual experiences with a commitment to racial and social healing. He was a prophet, challenging racism and social injustice. He was also a healer who experienced God's presence in oppressor as well as oppressed. Thurman's holistic spirituality provides a pathway for social healing in a time characterized by polarization, incivility, and hatred. Thurman reminds us that we can both picket and pray, and protest injustice while working toward reconciliation.The spiritual exercises at the end of each chapter draw on Howard Thurman's work to challenge usif we practice these exercises seriously and with commitmentto develop a new view of our opponents. They help us toward loving our enemies, and becoming the ';friendly world of friendly persons' that Thurman described.

    Around the Quaker world, there is a murmuring restlessness and growing hunger for a deeper and more vibrant spiritual experience . . . to know and be known by that which is truly Eternal; to establish authentic faith communities kindled and animated by the Power and Presence of the Holy Spirit; and to move beyond endless human striving in order to fully partner in the Way of the Living Christ. The Eternal Promise is one invitation into this way of life.

    These brief meditations incorporate the hope, celebration, love, compassion, and blessing of the Christmas season and encourage us to find them throughout the year. Features include the poem, The Work of Christmas,: When the song of the angels is stilled, When the star in the sky is gone...The Work of Christmas begins...; and I Will Light Candles This Christmas,: Candles of joy, despite all sadness, Candles of hope where despair keeps watch. Candles of courage for fears ever present, Candles of peace for tempest-tossed days...I know that the experiences of unity in human relations are more compelling than the concepts, the fears, the prejudices, which divide. Despite the tendency to feel my race superior, my nation the greatest nation, my faith the true faith, I must beat down the boundaries of my exclusiveness until my sense of separateness is completely enveloped in a sense of fellowship. I will light the candle of fellowship this Christmas, a candle that must burn all the year long. - The Mood of Christmas & Other Celebrations by Howard Thurman
