In his introduction Clive says “Seeking a firm faith to live by is a continuing quest for many people in our time, but we are not the first to find it so. I have felt that anyone trying to find a way forward on their own spiritual journey today might learn a lot from the struggles of predecessors, so I began to collect quotations which helped me to get a sense of how some of those people felt.” In fact Clive covers a wide range of authors from Victorian times to the present day.

Real like the Daisies, or Real like I love you. David Boulton, £7.50
What do we mean by "God" in the 21st Century? If we say God is "real". do we mean the reality of things that have an independent existence, like daisies, or the reality of wholly human values like love, compassion, beauty and justice?
These are the questions tackled in the title essay of this collection, the first of 15 articles which seek to make a contribution to the exploration of radical Quaker and religious humanist ideas in our secular postmodern age. Drawing on his published work, David Boulton discusses such diverse issues as "mysticism and mystification", the historical Jesus, and the nature of religious
experience. In two essays on Quaker history he examines the relationship of Gerard Winstanley's revolutionary theology to early Quakerism, and looks at early Friends' ambivalent attitude to the New Model Army before the adoption of the "peace testimonies". After diversions through George Eliot's fiction and Tolkein's Lord of the Rings, he ends with a hypothetical "Ten Suggestions" for radical Quakers, radical Christians, and radical religious humanists.
