"Stuart Masters’s The Quaker Faith is one of a very short list of books on Quakerism that I can recommend without hesitation," says Paul Buckley.

Stuart Masters addresses some big questions: Who are the Quakers? What do they have to offer? And do they have a future?
The ebook version of 'Tangled Roots: Navigating the Complex Legacy of Early Quakers' is now available to buy for only £5.00!

We can do things machines cannot because of our capacity for the transcendent... AI uses information: humans, at our best, find answers in the still small voice within.
