5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Introduction to Unity, February 12, 2002

By 

Andrei Yashurin (Russia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Unity: A Quest for Truth (Paperback)

Wherever you heard about Unity before or not, you will be blessed if you will acquaint yourself with this non-orthodox Christian movement. No matter what some critics say, it is far from being a cult. It is a way of thinking and a way of living - living positively and creatively. Unlike many other groups, it claims no absolute authority; require no allegiance to its founders or modern leaders. You can take from Unity whatever you want and as much as you want, and to be confident that it will be a blessing to you.

Unity re-discovered the practice of silent meditation long before it became popular in the Western world. Unity taught about the power of "positive thinking" long before it became popular through books of Norman Vincent Peale and Robert H. Schuller. Unity was a blessing to a modern religious thought in many ways, although it is not always admitted. However, I want to assure you that if you will take time to read its materials, especially the classical ones, your understanding of God and your own life will not be the same!

Personally, after I found Unity several years ago, I dedicated myself to making Unity materials available in the Russian language.

4.0 out of 5 stars A short overview of the Unity Church and its beliefs., February 8, 2007

This review is from: Unity: A Quest for Truth (Paperback)

Eric Butterworth summarizes the history of the Unity Church and the beliefs it encompasses. This is a good place to start if you are interested in learning more about Unity. It's a quick read. However, it's probably not very illuminating for those who've already read Butterworth's Discover the Power Within You, which goes much more in depth into these beliefs.
