Synopsis

George Fox first gathered Friends 340 years ago by 'opening to them the way' for our times also his life has become part of this message. His journal told of his own life story fully and vividly, so that efforts to improve on it has recently been few. All readers, however, find Fox's journal so detailed and so quick to assume his readers's familiarity with situations, events and outlooks of his times that though we constantly quote him we rarely grasp it as a whole. Here Cecil Sharman has done all of us an important service to placing all the key events of Fox's life within the historical setting, and bring out the warmth of his personality and his intents and sense of mission, mirrored in what his Friends like John Banks and William Penn told of him.
