This review is from: Truth of the Heart (Paperback)

What George Fox was on about is made clear in this carefully selected and grouped collection of extracts from Fox's writings. Ambler says in his introduction that the writings almost grouped themselves, and they are easy to follow because of the grouping. However the anthology with its reader-friendly introduction, modern English parallel text and concluding essay is clearly the result of much work.

Ambler's selection ahows that George Fox was on about the spiritual process by which individuals can discover the Truth for themselves; the truth about themselves and how to live. This book is valuable both for the curious about Quakers, and those who like myself have come to join the Religious Society of Friends with only a second-hand knowledge of what the founder of Quakers was teaching.
