The story of Rosie Moore, including the events preceding the
miraculous birth of her son, Kaleb. Barely 1 pound, 10 ounces at
birth, Kaleb is a LIVING MIRACLE from God. Readers will enjoy this
short story surrounding this love story built on prayer, God's
intervention, and the wonderful gift of faith given to people of
ordinary means. How God intervenes in a person's life and how our
current troubles may be a hidden blessing in your life, coming
directly from the master planner.
This landmark volume is the first in a century to examine the
"Second Period" of Quakerism, a time when the Religious Society of
Friends experienced upheavals in theology, authority and
institutional structures, and political trajectories as a result of
the persecution Quakers faced in the first decades of the
movement's existence. The authors and special contributors explore
the early growth of Quakerism, assess important developments in
Quaker faith and practice, and show how Friends coped with the
challenges posed by external and internal threats in the final
years of the Stuart age-not only in Europe and North America but
also in locations such as the Caribbean. This groundbreaking
collection sheds new light on a range of subjects, including the
often tense relations between Quakers and the authorities, the role
of female Friends during the Second Period, the effect of major
industrial development on Quakerism, and comparisons between
founder George Fox and the younger generation of Quakers, such as
Robert Barclay, George Keith, and William Penn. Accessible,
well-researched, and seamlessly comprehensive, The Quakers,
1656-1723 promises to reinvigorate a conversation largely ignored
by scholarship over the last century and to become the definitive
work on this important era in Quaker history. In addition to the
authors, the contributors are Erin Bell, Raymond Brown, J. William
Frost, Emma Lapsansky-Werner, Robynne Rogers Healey, Alan P. F.
Sell, and George Southcombe.
Hailed upon its publication as "history at its finest" by H. Larry
Ingle and called "the essential foundation to explore early Quaker
history" by Sixteenth Century Journal, Rosemary Moore's The Light
in Their Consciences is the most comprehensive, readable history of
the first decades of the life and thought of The Society of
Friends. This twentieth anniversary edition of Moore's pathbreaking
work reintroduces the book to a new generation of readers. Drawing
on an innovative computer-based analysis of primary sources and
Quaker and anti-Quaker literature, Moore provides compelling
portraits of George Fox, James Nayler, Margaret Fell, and other
leading figures; relates how the early Friends lived and
worshipped; and traces the path this radical group followed as it
began its development into a denomination. In doing so, she makes
clear the origins and evolution of Quaker faith, details how they
overcame differences in doctrinal interpretation and religious
practice, and delves deeply into clashes between and among leaders
and lay practitioners. Thoroughly researched, felicitously written,
and featuring a new introduction, updated sources, and an
enlightening outline of Moore's research methodology, this edition
of The Light in Their Consciences belongs in the collection of
everyone interested in or studying Quaker history and the era in
which the movement originated.
"There are many greater Quakers than Ellwood, but few more
likeable," quips editor Rosemary Moore in her prologue. Her new
edition of Thomas Ellwood's autobiography will be of interest to
social and religious historians, Quakers, English literary
scholars, and many others. Ellwood's story vividly recounts the
early days of the Friends movement in seventeenth-century England
and the persecution of its members. A student of Isaac Penington,
an assistant to John Milton, and the editor of the journals of
George Fox, Thomas Ellwood gives a moving account of his tumultuous
life and times.
