Synopsis

This book presents the life and religious experiences of the Quaker minister Samuel Neale, who lived in the 18th century. His writings explore the transformative power of divine grace, offering insights into the nature of conversion, the challenges of discipleship, and the importance of inward spiritual guidance. Through his personal journals and letters, Neale shares his journey from youthful rebellion to a life dedicated to living the principles of the Society of Friends. The book provides a glimpse into the experiences of early Friends, highlighting the depth of their commitment and the obstacles they faced in their pursuit of a pure and righteous life. Neale's writings challenge readers to examine their own spiritual journeys, encouraging them to seek a closer connection with the divine and to find strength and guidance in the midst of life's trials.

About the Author

Thomas W. Evans was chair of the trustees at Teachers College, where he also served as an adjunct professor of education and administration. His books include The School in the Home and Mentors. A graduate of Columbia Law School, his legal publications include Admissions Practice and the PLI series on Nuclear Litigation (editor and co-author). Evans' knowledge of politics stems largely from his years with the Mudge Rose firm (once known as Nixon Mudge), where he was a senior litigator and (for a decade) managing partner. Quite apart from his professional duties, he oversaw the 1968 New Hampshire primary and set up a national grass roots citizens' organization. Richard Nixon described Evans to historian Theodore White as one of three men who convinced Nixon to run for the presidency again in 1968.

While Evans never served in the Nixon administration, he was counsel to the Points of Light Foundation under Bush (41) and for eight years chair of the White House's national symposium on partnerships in education under Reagan. He consulted with officials of the Clinton administration about educational reform, and, locally, served on commissions under Mayors Koch and Dinkins.
