Walton’s Anecdotes gathers together hundreds of carefully selected anecdotes and extracts that illustrate the doctrines, spiritual experiences, and history of the early Society of Friends. Arranged by subject, and drawn extensively from their own journals and memoirs, Joseph Walton (1817–1898) presents a wide variety of incidents that demonstrate Friends’ careful adherence to the Light of Christ, their simplicity of life and departure from the world, their faithfulness under persecution, their views concerning worship, prayer, ministry, communion with God, war, and much more. The result is not only an accurate survey of Quaker principles as they were lived out by generations of faithful men and women, but also an encouragement for sincere Christians of every generation to follow Christ in the narrow way that leads to life.

Friends Library Publishing exists to freely share the writings of early members of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers), believing that no other collection of Christian writings more accurately communicates or powerfully illustrates the soul-transforming power of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
