One Book One Yearly Meeting
One Book One Yearly Meeting is an opportunity for meetings, quarters and Friends of all ages to connect and grow in the Spirit through one shared experience. Each year a book is chosen which reflects the theme of our Annual Sessions. Friends are invited to read the book individually or with their meeting over the next year. An accompanying curriculum provides support for going deeper into the book.

Poetry that Sustains the Courage to Lead This book reflects the theme of our Annual Sessions, Powerful Beyond Measure: Trusting the Call to Leadership in a unique and powerful way: through poetry. In this book, leaders from many different walks of life were asked to share a poem that guided their work and to reflect on that choice. The poems and the accompanying stories uphold and uplift the joys, concerns, conflicts and celebrations that accompany one called to leadership giving sustenance to the heart and the soul.

Stories of Twentieth Century Quakers What do Steve Angell, Elise Boulding, Bayard Rustin and Signe Wilkinson have in common? These Friends and the 12 others included in Lives That Speak each lived their unique witness to making peace and working for justice. Designed for students, these stories provide Friends with models of courage, creativity and caring. Each chapter has questions to ponder, follow-up activities and suggested further reading.
