Without Apology: The Heroes, the Heritage and the Hope of Liberal Quakerism

For the Quakers, personal story telling is an especially important tradition. In fact, its founder George Fox is most frequently quoted as saying "Let your lives speak." Editor Chuck Fager pays homage to Fox in this collection of essays, short stories, poetry, novel excerpts, and drawings--all contributed by friends. Some refer directly to Quaker ideology, such as the humorous and forthright essay "Quaker's Men's Group," when the men (whose purpose is to create unity) can't agree on what night to meet, much less on Ross Perot, cellular phones, or World War II. It is not until they find an early morning hour to convene in silent meditation that they begin to hear the truths that bind them.  Other contributions elude to Quaker beliefs, such as Margaret Diorio's poem "Lost Boy," which speaks to a mother fearing she has lost her son in the wilderness, only to discover that he has somehow found himself in the woods as he sat for hours, silently listening for deer.  This highly recommended collection also includes accounts of working in prisons (Quakers are strong advocates of prisoner rights) and Bonnie Zimmer's testimonial to the terrible burden of speaking the truth. --Gail Hudson

Best of Friends Volume 1

In 1965, Chuck Fager was a rookie civil rights worker, fresh out of college, who was sent to Selma, Alabama to work for Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s direct action campaign to end the racist exclusion of African-Americans from voting, there and across the South. This is Chuck Fager’s vivid personal account of the movement: how he got there, his experiences in and out of jail, what he learned, how Selma shaped his life and launched him on a spiritual journey and a writer's career. This book is a revealing first-person counterpart to his earlier, highly-praised historical account, Selma 1965: The March That Changed the South.

Memoirs

What meaning can be found in the life and death of Tom Fox? In this book, more than two dozen authors grapple with this question, from a wide range of perspectives. Their reflections are paired with passages from Tom’s own writings, his blog entries and emails. On November 25, 2005, Tom Fox was kidnaped in Baghdad, Iraq, along with three comrades. All four were members of a Christian Peacemakers Team, working to exhibit a spirit of peace and reconciliation in a land riven by war and terror. His three colleagues were freed by British and U.S. troops on March 23, 2006. But almost two weeks earlier, on March 10, Tom’s body was found in a garbage dump in the city; he had been murdered. Tom had written that he was ready to face death in the work of peacemaking, and that this was his call as a Christian. Such a sacrifice, he said, would be worth it. Was it? Listen to Tom, read the responses, and consider the questions for yourself. It could be a matter of life and death.
