Elegant, simple and a beacon to light the way

The light within can shine out of someone so that others may see the path they are on. Palmer writes of his own journey in the finest tradition of Penn, Woolman and Fox. Parker writes of his own struggles, his wrong turns, his mistakes and his revelations. The path he took is not for everyone -- but that is the point. In the Biblical tradition, we can learn from his struggles, just as we learn from the struggles of the Jews in the Old Testament and the trials and tribulations of the early Christians in the New Testament. As we search for that of God within us, we can look to the experience of others who have gone before us.

After reading LET YOUR LIFE SPEAK, I got out of a competitive, contentious field and got into a position that makes me feel like a fish in water.

A great book for non-Quakers as well as Friends.

Eloquent and elegant - truths distilled from being real

Appreciators of Parker Palmer should know that this is, in this reader's opinion, the best he has ever written. It is the best because Palmer shares himself enough to let us know that he is human and vulnerable, but his central focus is on discovering who God has in mind for us to be and become.

This is for those struggling to make early decisions about vocation but also for those who, midway or later in life, are needing assistance on the path to being as well as doing.Powerful in its economy of words.

Quietly Powerful

This Parker Palmer book touched me so deeply that I purchased it for each of my teachers (I am head of a private school). Palmer gently leads the reader to examine one's commitments and career path. While a spiritual book, it is not religious. I recommend it highly. It provides questions, not answers, but for these topics, at least for me, that is what is really needed.

PHENMONENAL!!!!

This is one of the best books I have ever read. Parker J. Palmer has a way of using words and stories to captivate the reader. His real life experiences are the most powerful and telling portion of the book.

Don't be fooled by the cheesy cover

This is a smart book for all faithfilled people looking to make a vocation change or take stock in their life. Far more well written and grounded than most "spiritual" books out there.
