Description
Have you had an experience of the presence of God?
Has a voice, a vision, a dream changed your sense of who you
are?
Has a sense of oneness with God changed your life?
Are you hungry for a God who provides real guidance?
This book is for you.
Have you wondered if God exists?
Have you wondered if God cares about you?
Do you wonder if God is still talking to humans?
Do you yearn to love God but feel you need to be introduced?
This book is for you.
In a context in which an intimate interactive relationship with
God is not always highly valued, understood, or actively nurtured, and whose
importance as the root of social action is sometimes overlooked, this book
witnesses to the action of God in the lives of Friends today, and their
response to it. Mysticism at work.
"The stories range all over the human condition and encompass
such a broad variety of peoples experience of God that when one needs to read
the words of another human being wrestling with an experience similar to ones
ownit is possible to find it among the many stories. All of us have so much of
the world in our lives, dragging us away from faith, that this kind of book is
what we need." Rita Varley,
Yearly Meeting Library
What
Canst Thou Say? is a quarterly newsletter that has gathered stories
of Quakers sharing their first-hand mystical experience and contemplative
practice. It is produced cooperatively by a group of volunteers, who,
themselves, have felt the movement of the Spirit and wish to deepen their understanding
by interacting with others. This book includes some of the stories and poems
published in the first ten years as celebration of our tenth anniversary.
