Beginner's Guide to Quakerism

Beginner's Guide to Quakerism
by Maurine Pyle, Margaret Katranides, Thomas Leverett, and Fernando Freire

Can be bought individually from Amazon:
$3.83 + postage on Amazon
$0.99 on Kindle


For meetings they are available in batches at 65c each plus postage. That means, if you want ten, send me $6.50 + $3 for postage, or whatever the current media mail rate is. Media mail takes about a week and I am not allowed to put a friendly note in there. Obviously you can save big money by ordering more at a time, but you would probably want to make sure they'll work first. Bonus: I live in Galesburg IL: If you can save money by picking them up or having me deliver, mention it. I do get to Chicago once in a while and I'm right on a highway.

This pamphlet was intended to give the average outsider a good general overview of what Quakerism is. It is, after all, a discipline to live by Truth and integrity, and to have as your community people who may feel differently about the exact role of God, Christ, the Holy Spirit, and the literal doctrines of mainstream Christianity. Many Quakers today do not call themselves Christian; if so, what do they have in common? This pamphlet will explain.OK I resolve to make all inquiries point here and make this site current. The price has changed and will change again but I want this site to be current.

At the moment they are $.65 each plus postage. Postage is about $5 to send 20, much less to send a single one. Inquiries can be made to me here or you can communicate directly on paypal at tlevsp @ gmail.com, no spaces.

Followers of this blog and the press will recognize this as the pamphlet, published in 2021 and printed at home by me for $0.80 each + postage. It will still be available in pamphlet form, printed more professionally, and possibly cheaper; stay posted. This Amazon version is at least available now, here from this site.

The batch from the printers is really nice, well done, but underpriced, according to him. I have told him to make me a sustainable price so that we can fix the price permanently. Also I will work on ordering more than 200 (requires more money than I can take out of the family budget) and that will lower the price further. Our goal is to keep the price as low as possible.

The batch from the printers specifically is a little more than 60 cents each. I round up to make sure I cover envelopes and gas to the post office. I do not charge for my time.
