Seeds that Change the World: Essays on Quakerism, Spirituality, Faith, and Culture

The Quaker tradition at its best is a practice-based religious path that embodies the ability to hold paradoxical truths with deep love and a minimum of hierarchy.  Each of these elements is an important capability, that the world as a whole needs today. These capacities are developed through regular exercise of both individual and corporate spiritual practices, that can be taught and strengthened. The ongoing divisions and separations among us speak to our failure to live up to our potential. As stewards of this tradition, we need to better embody the truths of the Quaker tradition.

With a foreword by Diane Randall, Humphries’ book helps readers do just that by exploring Soul Time, Our Hope for a New Life, Four Pillars of Meeting for Business, Embracing Wholeness in the World, Exploring the Unwritten Rules of Waiting Worship, Why the World Needs Quakerism and more.

Of Seeds that Change the World, Lloyd Lee Wilson says “In these essays, Humphries enters the long-standing debate among Quakers as to whether Friends have anything distinctive to offer the contemporary world. Her conclusion: Yes!”

“Part spiritual autobiography, part critique of the white middle class, this collection of essays offers deep insights into the unique constellation of gifts of Quaker faith and practice, and pleads for Friends to better understand and embrace our radical tradition,” writes Marty Grundy.

Debbie Humphries came to Quakerism in the early 1990s after growing up Mormon. Debbie has travelled in the ministry among Quakers since 2004 under the care of Hartford Monthly Meeting, carrying a concern for the spiritual health and vitality of the Religious Society of Friends.

Praise for Seeds that Change the World:

“With the insight and sensitivity that comes from being a religious refugee, Debbie L. Humphries encourages and challenges Quakers to a deeper spiritual life. These essays pull back the curtain to what often seems mysterious about Quaker practice and ministry but does so while maintaining a sense of wonder about Quaker process.” — Peterson Toscano, writer and performer of Transfigurations: Transgressing Gender in the Bible

“Both a compelling spiritual biography and a meaningful comment on the role of religion in contemporary society, this book answers questions yet helpfully provokes us to re-assess the now-accepted idea of faith without community.” — James Golden, British historian


“Debbie Humphries offers us a twenty-first century realization of the Quaker journal in its classic form. It combines personal journey and introspective insight with sustained engagement with the collective processes of Quaker faith and practice, while grappling with some of the largest social problems of our time. Not only Friends but a variety of readers will find their own journeys and challenges evoked by the chapters of this book.” — Doug Gwyn, author of A Sustainable Life: Quaker Faith and Practice in the Renewal of Creation


“What if you trusted the Holy presence is only revealed in respectful and honest community? What if you knew embraced insecurity reaps freedom and growth is only possible outside your comfort zone? Through these pages you are invited to walk with prophetic Debbie Humphries on the wild side of engaged and hopeful revelation, working on solutions for our deepest problems. Follow her process with your heart; you will be changed forever.” — Cruger Johnson Phillips, LPC, Spiritual Director

“Debbie Humphries uses her own life experience, as well as learnings from Friends past and present, to show readers (both those new to Quaker faith and practice, as well as those seasoned in the life of Quaker discipleship) that Listening for the Still, Small Voice is only the first step in a life journey of living and bearing witness to God’s Love.” — Deborah Fisch, retreat leader and former Associate Secretary of Traveling Ministries of Friends General Conference

“In a variety of personal and inspiring essays Debbie Humphries offers seeds of hope in practices of the Quaker tradition that could transform our world.” — Eleanor Godway, emeritus professor of philosophy, Central Connecticut State University

“Part spiritual autobiography, part critique of the white middle class, this collection of essays offers deep insights into the unique constellation of gifts of Quaker faith and practice, and pleads for Friends to better understand and embrace our radical tradition.” — Marty Grundy, author of Tall Poppies: Supporting Gifts of Ministry & Eldering in the Monthly Meeting

“In these essays, Humphries enters the long-standing debate among Quakers as to whether Friends have anything distinctive to offer the contemporary world. Her conclusion: Yes!” — Lloyd Lee Wilson, author of Essays on the Quaker Vision of Gospel Order

I’m a little disappointed.
Format: Kindle
I usually like Jillian West’s books but this one was missing a lot for me. The pregnancy didn’t come across as real. She’s on her feet for 12 hour days but is perfectly healthy at 8 months pregnant? Yet the week she moves in all of a sudden she’s not? She is planning on actually running during one of the plot buildups. But at 8 months pregnant that’s incredibly hard to do. The lack of breathing ability and lung space, the change in body center, mass, and gravity. All of it prohibits running, unless you’re an athlete this didn’t come off as at all realistic. I didn’t feel any connection with the alphas. There wasn’t any emotional connection. It could be because of the tense it was written in. But I didn’t get any deep feelings out of this. It came across as checking off boxes. Even the spicy scenes weren’t really believable for me. I wanted to see them fall for her, and it just kind of all fizzled. Even Bishop. One thing I did really like was the ending. I did not see it coming and I’m interested in reading book two because of it. But on the whole this book was mostly disappointing for me.

Vale is an 8 month pregnant omega working as a waitress at a strip club and a cam girl. She starts to get very creepy vibes from a regular at the club, and her baby daddy ghosted her. She has had an online relationship with a man named Bishop through her cam girl status. One night, bishop was paying to watch her sleep and ansthe creepy regular Andrew break in and watch her sleep he tells vale to come to him at his business now. She flees and finds herself at a large security company with some.hot of alphas who are there to help her. This imegaverse is a little different than I have read, but I am thoroughly enjoying it. Vale is not a traditional omega she was raised by a single beta mom, and the alphas are not normal alphas they have never really loved pack life. But they are ruthless mercenaries. They need her, and she needs them. I love the aspect of the stalker and now the plot twists at the end, so so good. Sometimes, it seemed a little slow and stale mated, but since this a duet, I think It was just her starting to have Vale get to know her alpha suitors. Cliffhanger for sure with this one.

That ending 😫
Format: Kindle
I fell into a false sense of security and really thought this was gearing towards a happy ending. Then I realized there’s no work they don’t punish Andrew. I really liked Vale’s character. I don’t normally read books with pregnancy but going into this knowing she was pregnant made it more enjoyable for me. I loved Bishops devotion to her and her happiness. I also loved that Holt and Mercy couldn’t fight their attraction to her. I love scent matches so very much. I’m so curious to see how this duet will end up. And I need to pay more attention and notice that a book I’m starting is a duet to begin with lol

I just knew there was something about Cooper! I’m wondering if he’s about to be included but damn I’m glad he’s at least not a rapist and creepy guy, he just got called on assignment and had to go! This should be interesting! She’s gonna run and then what’s his face is gonna grab her. I’m worried! Wow that was a great book and cliffhanger! Loving this!
