Seeking the Light
A Quaker Journey for Quakers and Non-Quakers
by Dr. Linda Seger
Many people have heard about Quakers, but know little about them. Their faith and practice contain many precious gems that can be adopted by anyone who is spiritual to further expand their spiritual life.
The author, Dr. Linda Seger, is a long-time Quaker who has integrated her Quaker values as a professional in the scriptwriting and film industry for 40 years. This practical and accessible book deepens the faith of Quakers and introduces non-Quakers to Quaker testimonies, practices, and values.
