If you want to be told what you should believe don't read this book! Kate McNally, after discarding the strict dogmatic religion her childhood, takes us on her journey of discovery as she explores "the faith OF Jesus rather than the faith ABOUT Jesus". Like many of us, from her first experience of a Quaker Meeting, she knew she had come home. For non-Quakers she explains Quakerism simply and clearly. "In the end, Quakerism for me is not so much a religion but a relationship with God, with myself and with others". The heart of her faith and her life is that we just love one another "It's that simple and that difficult". She explores what the word "God" means to her, but says if that does't speak to you, don't worry. She sees perfection as an illusion and asks "what if we could hold the belief that we are good enough just as we are"? In accepting our own incompleteness and weaknesses we can take "the short step to accepting and valuing the imperfections of others". This book has much food for thought and is a joy to read.

Kate McNally takes us on a clear and cogent deep dive into her Quaker experience, with thoughtful descriptions of Quaker ways of working and being in the world. In contrast to her early church experience, Kate dares to describe a close and personal relationship with God that gives us permission to embrace who we are and the courage to let our lives speak. An engaging read, which I will likely offer to other seekers.

In this exploration of Quaker Faith, Kate McNally weaves together personal experience and reflection. She shows how times of doubt and the development of new insights have both supported her faith, and explains in plain and accessible terms some of the things which have helped her -- from the Quaker tradition and beyond. This book is of interest to anyone on a spiritual path, and will be useful to many seekers.
