A week off has given me time to read some great overviews of Quaker writings and history. I would fully recommend each of the following:
An Introduction to Quakerism (Introduction to Religion)by Pink Dandelion
A terrific comprehensive look at Quakerism, past and present. Easy to understand and interesting.
The Quaker Reader by Jessamyn West (ed.)
This long-treasured introduction includes a rich selection of Quaker writings from 1650 to the present. The writings illuminate the tenets of a just and loving religious faith and practice, and can inform and guide those familiar with or new to Quakerism.
Quaker Spirituality: Selected Writings (Classics of Western Spirituality)by Douglas V Steere
A terrific collection of writings. The contents include: Abridgment of the Journal of George Fox — A selection of passages from the epistles of George Fox — Selections from the Letters of Isaac Penington — Abridgment of the Journal of John Woolman — Selections from Quaker strongholds by Caroline Stephen — Selections from the writings of Rufus M. Jones — Selections from the writings of Thomas R. Kelly.
