Description

A Quaker Book of WisdomThe most valuable aspect of religion, writes Robert Lawrence Smith, is that it provides us with a framework for living. I have always felt that the beauty and power of Quakerism is that it exhorts us to live more simply, more truthfully, more charitably. Taking his inspiration from the teaching of the first Quaker, George Fox, and from his own nine generations of Quaker forebears, Smith speaks to all of us who are seeking a way to make our lives

The most valuable aspect of religion, writes Robert Lawrence Smith, is that it provides us with a framework for living. I have always felt that the beauty and power of Quakerism is that it exhorts us to live more simply, more truthfully, more charitably.

Taking his inspiration from the teaching of the first Quaker, George Fox, and from his own nine generations of Quaker forebears, Smith speaks to all of us who are seeking a way to make our lives simpler, more meaningful, and more useful. Beginning with the Quaker belief that There is that of God in every person, Smith explores the ways in which we can harness the inner light of God that dwells in each of us to guide the personal choices and challenges we face every day. How to live and speak truthfully. How to listen for, trust, and act on our conscience. How to make our work an expression of the best that is in us.

Using vivid examples from his own life, Smith writes eloquently of Quaker Meeting, his decision to fight in World War II, and later to oppose the Vietnam War. From his work as an educator and headmaster to his role as a husband and father, Smith quietly convinces that the lofty ideals of Quakerism offer all of us practical tools for leading a more meaningful life. His book culminates with a moving letter to his grandchildren which imparts ten lessons for letting your life speak.

Almost great! But falls a little short
Size: Large, Color: Wine Red
It’s a great looking pea coat, but the stuffing/insulating material appeared to be lacking. Granted price is nice so one can only expect so much. I was willing to overlook this and then I tried it on - the fit was great except for the sleeves. I wear 32-33 sleeves and these must be 35-36. They swallow up my hands. It’s bummer because the maroon/wine color is so nice. I’ll be returning unfortunately

Great quality :-)
Size: X-Large, Color: Black, Size: X-Large, Color: Black
So I purchased a Nother pea coat from a box store that didn’t quite fit right and was not very flattering, so I returned it. I’m 6 foot tall 210 pounds with very wide shoulders and long arms so I decided to get an extra large. It’s slightly loose around the waist section, but I think that’s supposed to be that way considering you may wanna wear layers underneath. I may possibly get it tailored a little bit tired her, but the chest and arms fit great and the length is perfect. Great quality for the price and definitely a nice piece to the collection!

Excellent quality - great buy! Looks sharp!
Size: Large, Color: Gray, Size: Large, Color: Gray
Great quality - this is a medium weight coat. Perfect as a car coat but too thin for cold winter days if you had to be outside for long periods of time. The fit is just perfect. Purchased a size large for a man 5’6 175 lbs with a small belly so peacoat double breasted look - looks great! Lining is standard and the grey color is very appealing. This is soft feeling coat made to look like wool without the heavy rougher wool feel. Only issue is that the coat comes packaged in a small bag and so when you open it the coat it totally wrinkled. You can knock out the wrinkles in the dryer with a wrinkle release dryer sheet or use a garment steamer but honestly the dryer trick is the key.

Long enough sleeves for a tall guy
Size: Large, Color: Green
I’m 6’3” and skinny, and was very impressed to find the sleeves were long enough for me in a large! The overall fit of the coat is boxy or straight, while I would have preferred a slimmer cut, I’m just so happy that the sleeves fit! The liner is nice, interior breast pockets on both sides are super convenient, and I love the green.
