Another pocket treasure 5 out of 5 stars.

If you are interested in American Quakers, this little book is a good place to begin your studies! Truly a pocket sized book, you can carry this with you everywhere. It is not the whole of John Woolman's journal, just some very good excerpts about this 18th century Quaker mystic and abolitionist who was strongly against slavery when other Friends had few objections.

Once you've read this, you may want to try his full sized Journal. This is a good book for beginners, for young people and for those who admire John Woolman but may not like to read a lot!

Editorial Review:

The "journal" or spiritual autobiography of John Woolman was the characteristic literary expression of Quakerism in its first two centuries. Woolman's Journal was first published in 1774 (shortly after his death). His life, as recorded by himself, was the finest flower of a unique Quaker culture, Whose focus, as Howard H. Brinton has put it, was not on the literary or plastic arts but on "life itself in home, meeting and community", a life which was an "artistic creation as beautiful in its simplicity and proportion as was the architecture of its meeting houses..." Its distinguishing marks marks were not dogmas but practical testimonies for equality, simplicity and peace. These testimonies, once revolutionary in their social implications, were already becoming institutionalized in Woolman's time as the badges of a "peculiar people". In his quiet way-- he must have been the quietest radical in history-- John Woolman reforged them, tempered them in the stream of love, and converted them once again into instruments of social revolution.
