His life is a statement of God’s deep infusion into full existence. His words flow as a medicine into my tortured psyche, releasing deception and grief - fraught world and selfish ideation. Cool water, no taint whatsoever. I read it again and again.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Wonderful Document by a Great ManReviewed in the United States on March 3, 2016

This short treatise by Thomas Kelly is one of the classics of the 20th century. I have known about this author for many years, and know that the world lost a great person with his death at far too young of an age. His words speak as much today as they did more than 75 years ago.

5.0 out of 5 stars Interesting analysis of the spiritual life by a Christ-centered Quaker
Thomas Kelly was a Quaker educator who taught at Wilmington College, Earlham College, Wellesley College, the University of Hawaii, and, at the time of his untimely death in 1941, was a professor at Haverford College. Kelly was author of two books, "A Testament of Devotion" and "The Eternal Promise."
In the winter of 1940-1941, Thomas Kelly gave a series of four lectures at Pendle Hill, a Quaker retreat center near Philadelphia. The fourth lecture was less than a week before his fatal heart attack. After his death, the notes for his lectures were assembled into this slim volume, with some editing to accomodate the written word as compared to the spoken lecture.

The Reality of the Spiritual World was published by Pendle Hill as Pamphlet 21. The pamphlet is available for absolutely free download at pendlehill.org, in two PDF formats, including as a printable pamphlet (two pamphlet pages per printed page) and as a single page per printed page. The text can be copied and pasted and is totally legible, without facscimile marks or defects.

Kelly had been an evangelical Christian in his youth,

I highly recommend this pamphlet, and suggest that you obtain it for free from Pendle Hill, the original publisher, who (as mentioned above) makes it available for free to anyone. If you find that it speaks to your condition, consider reading Kelly's other books, which are essentially collections of essays.
