John Lampen

Written for young people aged 10 and up, the book discusses techniques for conflict resolution.

The book explores Quaker testimonies - the interaction of inspiration, faith, and action to bring change in the world. It looks at Quaker concerns around the sustainability of the planet, peace and war, punishment, and music and the arts in the past and today. It stresses the continuity of their witness over the years and their openness to change and development.

What do Quakers have to offer when there is pain and distress in body, mind and spirit? Can their beliefs and worship help in the processes of healing? In this book, Diana and John Lampen try to answer these questions, drawing on their experiences of caring for troubled people and working in situations of conflict, as well as their long membership of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers). The book contains practices which readers can use for themselves. [Booktopia Review]

This book attempts to answer questions such as: Did Jesus exist? Who was he? What did he do and teach? What did he claim to be? How reliable are the records about him? Do we project our own fantasies onto him? What does "only begotten son of God" mean? What do Quakers believe about him?
