Review # 1 was written on 2013-05-30 00:00:00 Daniel Itatani This book uses the writings of George Fox, but they have been sorted into themes, and each page of original words, is faced by an opposite page of the words modernised. I have not read more then odd quotes from George Fox before, and I found it quite intriguing to read such a large amount of his words. I was also very surprised to recognise a lot of links to themes that I have been reading about in mindfulness meditation. GF and the proponents of MM both think it necessary to shut of the clamour of the mind. They both expect that when people turn awareness away from the noise of the world and the mind that this allows us to experience the joy and peace which is man's natural state of being. Fascinating.

Review # 2 was written on 2015-04-10 00:00:00 Jean Claude Fortier This was a collection of passages from the writing of George Fox, gathered to produce a coherent whole, in an attempt to display Fox's Quaker philosophy. As a Quaker, I thoroughly enjoyed this, and am always in awe of how Fox thrived during the very difficult time period in which he lived. His life was a blessing and inspiration to us all.
