Finding one's calling is not just about finding something we can do—it is about finding what we can't not do. “Let your life speak” is a time-honored Quaker admonition to live one's life as witness to the deepest truths one knows.

"Acts of Our Gentle God presents compelling evidence from the Bible to exonerate God of the charges that he is uncaring, judgmental, controlling, unfair, bad-tempered, or violent. The book demonstrates that the entire Bible, correctly understood, is in harmony with the definitive statement "God is love" (1 John 4:8)."--Page 4 of cover.
