In 1965, Chuck Fager was a rookie civil rights worker, fresh out of college, who was sent to Selma, Alabama to work for Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s direct action campaign to end the racist exclusion of African-Americans from voting, there and across the South. This is Chuck Fager's vivid personal account of the movement: how he got there, his experiences in and out of jail, what he learned, how Selma shaped his life and launched him on a spiritual journey and a writer's career. This book is a revealing first-person counterpart to his earlier, highly-praised historical account, "Selma 1965:...

The Progressive Quakers, though long forgotten by historians, were the radical seed of activist American religion in much of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Remaking Friends is the first book to tell their unique, exciting story. Emerging in the decades before the Civil War, the movement included pioneer crusaders for abolition and women's rights. They challenged authoritarianism in churches and questioned many traditional dogmas. They stood for applying reason to doctrine, the Bible and theology; yet they were also welcoming to the burgeoning spiritualist movement. Come right...

Author and historian Chuck Fager has been interested in Quakers, the Religious Society of Friends, for decades. He began exploring this interest by writing stories about Quakers in 1977. Beginning in 1989, he was asked to read these and other stories to campers and adults at Friends Music Camp. He has been invited back to read more of his stories every summer since. The camp gathers each July (or Seventh Month in Quaker argot) on the venerable campus of the Olney Friends School in Barnesville, Ohio. (That's where the scenes on the cover are from.) The nineteen stories collected here are...

Chuck Fager has been studying and writing about Quakers for almost forty years. When his granddaughter Amber told him that schoolmates had asked her about what Quakers believe, and how that differs from other Christian churches, she didn't know how to answer them. Chuck realized that she had not been taught about this faith. So he set out to provide answers to some of the FAQs that come up in such discussions. And he gathered almost fifty questions for this collection. The responses in this collection are concise, well-informed, and thought-provoking and reflect a progressive perspective. But...

When you get to the "So what?" part of life -- you're looking for Wisdom. But "where," to quote an earlier seeker, "is Wisdom to be found?" (Job 28.12) One place Chuck Fager looked for it was in the Bible. There the "So what?" question had been posed compellingly in one familiar phrase from the short book of Ecclesiastes: "'Vanity of vanities, ' saith the Preacher, 'all is vanity and is a striving after wind.'" And a few pages later: "To everything there is a season, and a time to ever purpose under heaven. A time to be born, and a time to die..." This book was one result of Chuck's...

Perry Adams, failed academic turned mailman, suddenly finds himself caught in a web of sex, a million-dollar mail theft, a congressional fraud investigation - and murder. Can Lemuel Penn, a plain Quaker apple grower, rescue him? And can Penn do it without applying some distinctly Un-Friendly Persuasion?

But once you've begun, this is a difficult book to put down."...
