For more than sixty years, Friends have used A Guide to Quaker Practice to demystify Friends’ activities. Howard Brinton wrote the guide assuming that somebody would improve on his work as the Religious Society of Friends grew and changed in the second half of the twentieth century.

One explanation for its durability can be found in Brinton’s own writing.

In the preface of his renowned collection, The Ghost Stories of an Antiquary, the author boldly declares his disdain for benevolent ghosts and those with refined sensibilities. He finds a kindred spirit in this sentiment and takes it a step further, rejecting the notion of a natural explanation‚deeming it a disheartening anti-climax. What ensues in these tales is a chilling exploration of those who return, driven by pure malevolence. Here, no skeptical materialist can undermine the authenticity of their spectral presence.
