Issachar Bates
Issachar Bates (1758-1837) was a Revolutionary War veteran in rural upstate New York who, at the age of forty-three, abruptly turned from his family life to become a celibate Shaker.

Bates drew "western" converts in abundance, profoundly changing the character of Shakerism by increasing its geographic reach. He also helped shape the Shakers' unique theology and hymnody through his many influential texts and songs.

Richard Mcnemar
The first biography of a key and complex American religious figure of the nineteenth century, considered by many to be the "father of Shaker literature." Richard McNemar (1770-1839) led a remarkable life, replete with twists and turns that influenced American religions in many ways during the early nineteenth century. Beginning as a Presbyterian minister in the Midwest, he took his preaching and the practice of his congregation in a radically different, evangelical "free will" direction during the Kentucky Revival. A cornerstone of his New Light church in Ohio was spontaneous physical movement and exhortations. After Shaker missionaries arrived, McNemar converted and soon played a prominent ...
DAN BIDADARI SURGA PUN CEMBURU
Di pusara orang-orang yang teramat dicintainya, ia berkata sambil berlinang air mata, “Ibu, Ayah, aku persembahkan mahkota ini, semoga kelak di akhirat nanti aku melihat Ayah dan Ibu mengenakan mahkota dan jubah yang bercahaya. Semalam, aku dinobatkan sebagai juara tahfiz …. Tunggu aku di Surga, dan kita akan berkumpul di sana.” Cinta … apa yang tebersit dalam benakmu saat mendengar kata itu? Bagi Rayhan, cinta bukan sekadar sebentuk perasaan terhadap kekasih di dunia. Cinta lebih kuat dan lebih mulia dari itu … indah, namun tak mengecilkan cinta pada sang Khalik. Dalam perjalanan cintanya, takdir mempertemukan Rayhan dengan sosok salehah. Namun, apa yang akan dilakukannya ketika sang ayah justru menginginkan seorang gadis kaya untuk menjadi pendampingnya? Dan bagaimana nasibnya ketika sosok salehah yang bahkan membuat bidadari surga pun cemburu itu nyaris direnggut darinya? Akankah ia tetap menjadi hamba yang tunduk dan cinta kepada sang Khalik? “Cerita yang menggugah berkelindan dalam bahasa yang indah, sebuah novel yang sarat amanah.” —Habiburrahman El Shirazy
Shakers of Indiana
Indian's little-known Shaker community is brought to life in the letters and diaries of Shakers of Indiana: A West Union Reader. Editor Cheryl Bauer has assembled a collection of rare Shaker documents as well as accounts by William Henry Harrison and other early nineteenth century visitors to the village that began in Knox County in 1808 and closed in 1826. Two hundred years after its founding, West Union retains two historic distinctions: it was the westernmost major Shaker village in the country and the Shaker community most directly affected by the War of 1812. West Union's complicated relationship with Native Americas and its position on the edge of the frontier forced the Shakers to Indiana during the early part of the war. They returned later to rebuild their community and even expand into Illinois, where they operated milling business for a few years. Written accounts by the Shakers and their contemporaries recreate the hardships and satisfactions of life on the Indiana prairie.
