J. Brent Bill



Writer of Rare Books



Hi! Thanks for stopping by my website. I'm a writer, photographer, retreat leader, writing coach, and Quaker minister. I've written and co-written many books including:

Amity: Stories from the Heartland!

Hope and Witness in Dangerous Times

Beauty, Truth, Life, and Love: Four Essentials for the Abundant Life

Holy Silence: 2nd Edition, Revised and Expanded

Life Lessons from a Bad Quaker: A Humble Stumble Toward Simplicity and Grace

Finding God in the Verbs: Crafting a Fresh Language of Prayer

Awaken Your Senses: Exercises for Exploring the Wonder of God

Sacred Compass: The Way of Spiritual Discernment

Holy Silence: The Gift of Quaker Spirituality

Mind the Light: Learning to See with Spiritual Eyes

Holy Places: Matching Sacred Space with Mission and Message

Imagination and Spirit: A Contemporary Quaker Reader

… in addition to more than 100 short stories and non-fiction articles. I graduated from Wilmington College and the Earlham School of Religion. I've worked as a local church pastor, denominational executive, seminary faculty member, and go-cart track operator. For over twenty years, I lived on Ploughshares Farm, which is fifty acres of Indiana farmland that our family reclaimed for native hardwood forests and warm season prairie grasses. I now live in Delaware, Ohio -- Ohio being my home state.
