Fox, George

"In this volume, T. Canby Jones joyfully presents what he has distilled of the essence of George Fox's pastoral teaching to the early Quakers. Filled as these pages are with spiritual counsel and practical wisdom in equal measure, Fox's love of God and care of His people shine steadily through them."

Joseph Pickvance, London Yearly Meeting

The dynamic growth of the Society of Friends reflected the intensity of its early leaders. George Fox maintained a prodigious correspondence with groups of Friends---perhaps as many as 3,000 epistles.
This collection draws today's readers into the power of the Lord, which was experienced by early Friends, immersing us in striking imagery and inspired praise, admonishment and exhortation.

Anne Thomas, Canada Yearly Meeting

George Fox (1624-91), founder of The Religious Society of Friends (or Quakers), was well known during his lifetime as a healer and worker of miracles. He wrote prolifically of how he used God's power to effect over one hundred and fifty cures, of both physical disease or injury and mental or psychological problems. This work was critical to spreading the word about Quakerism in its early years. Many of Fox's papers were lost after his death, but from the clues and fragments that remained, and a contemporary index of his works, Henry Cadbury (1883-1974) was able to create this book, published in 1948. The preface make clear that this was not intended as a work of critical analysis, though the findings are annotated with historical and documentary detail. The editor's devotion to his task is testament to the historical and spiritual significance of Fox's contribution to Quakerism.
