In the words of author Sheldon H. Clark, "Thematic unity of subject, selected scripture, Quaker quotations, sympathetic thoughts, and personal reflections are united by metaphor. One might consider this eclectic collection an all-purpose carryall into which necessities, whatnots, and mementos are placed. This holdall was useful for travel from some dark places to illuminated spaces; from bystander to participant; from doubt to faith; from the secular to the sacred.... Grab your haversack, imagine your journey, and renew in body, mind, and spirit."
"Sheldon Clark conveys an understanding of scripture and of matters spiritual. His gift for composition illuminates Logos for the Journey by using historical Quaker references. Sheldon's reflections demand some intense concentration. He challenges one to delve into one's own soul. This collection of quotations, stories, and prayers is not a quick read. It is, however, a thoughtful journey to be undertaken with an open and receptive heart, and afterward to be pondered with appreciation." ---Janice d'Eon, McMaster University (Certificate in Creative Writing), 2004; Insurance Representative in Operations at Travelers Canada (Retired, 2023); Author of (with illustrations by Melissa Rainford) Annabelle-Lee (2015), A Perfect Place (2013),
Feeling Better (2012), My Wonderful Zoo (2011)
"Sheldon Clark has invited us to travel on a journey of the soul. Enter the quiet capsule of your mind and peer into the darkness for the faint light ahead, to ever-increasing brightness. The scriptures, prayers, and stories we travel are for each to make part of their personal passage, being universal in appeal. Sheldon's work expands the horizon of our collective imagination to our beginning and ending in the Divine Spirit." ---Kathryn Wiersma, McMaster University, Honours B.A. (Kinesiology), 2001, Mohawk College (Early Childhood Education Diploma), 2022
"Logos for the Journey is a collection of fifteen thought-provoking reflections. Beware! In the manner of the monastic practice of Lectio Devina, readers may experience the presence of the Holy One and be drawn to act as the Holy Spirit leads. Gratitude to Sheldon H. Clark for this helpful compendium for daily living." ---Paul R. Dekar, Ph.D., Current Co-chair of the Christian Interfaith Reference Group of the Canadian Council of Churches and Chair of the Peace and Social Action Committee of Hamilton Friends; Author of Journeying with Hope into a New Year: Reflections for Advent and Christmas
