description: As a Quaker preacher, minister, and missionary in the late seventeenth century, William Penn was imprisoned for his faith many times. After being falsely accused of treason, Penn was forced into hiding. During those three years of imposed solitude, he had time to think, reflect, and reevaluate. This book is the product of that solitude. In it, Penn distills the essence of his spiritual idealism, combining it with practicality and common sense. Translated into today’s English by Eric K. Taylor, Penn’s wisdom is even more accessible to the contemporary reader. In this new edition, Penn’s voice can once again be heard in its simplicity and timelessness―sharing his fruits of solitude.
