"""""Those of us who've known and read Jim Newby for years suspected he had yet to write his spiritual opus. Now he has. Reflections from the Inner Light is a literary song, one beautiful verse after another."""" --Philip Gulley, Quaker pastor and author of Living the Quaker Way """"Reflections from the Inner Light is no mere journal. Jim offers the community a deeply intimate and personal confession, and a life's worth of reflections of a Quaker minister. He courageously walks us through intersections of life where darkness meets light, faith intersects doubt, and where pain and despair connect to hope. He points the way to a more passion-filled life, where the radiance of God's light can break forth for our journey too."""" --Matt Meinke, Presbyterian Minister (PCUSA) and General Presbyter of Maumee Valley Presbytery, Ohio"
