I am happy to share that my new book, Spice Up Your Life: Reflections on the Testimonies is due to be released on August 12, 2025 by Barclay Press.
Here is a sneak peek at the cover:

Here is an example of the nice things others are saying about the book:
“Thought-provoking, entertaining, and practical! In SPICE Up Your Life, Jay Marshall uses fun storytelling and insightful questions to explore how traditional Quaker testimonies (or core values) can offer guidance in day-to-day living. Ranging from flat tires and dive bars to minced oaths and pimento cheese, Marshall’s essays show how lofty values like simplicity, integrity, equality, and community can have down-to-earth
application.”
