Description:

Skees went to the Shakers to look for God, who lately had been absent from her harried life. She was drawn to the Shaker notion of stillness, which the Shakers would say leaves room in one's heart for the Spirit God. Sabbathday Lake, Maine, is the last Shaker haven on earth. Provides a fascinating look into the lives of the Shakers, a mysterious and little-understood religion. We gain a grasp of the history of this unique American sect, and we meet the individual brothers and sisters of the Sabbathday community, noting how each approaches dedication to the concepts of purity, consistency, and simplicity. Offers a way to deepen our very notion of religion. Illus.
