There are three new books I would like to bring to your attention. First, is a new book from Unity House written by Gary Simmons. Rev. Simmons is a very familiar face in Tulsa, having been the first minister of Unity Church of Christianity, on Jamestown. He went on to serve in Fayetteville, Arkansas, and is now on the staff of the Association of Unity Churches, in Lee's Summit. He has been in our church a number of times and is a personal friend of some of our current members.

The other two books come highly recommended by DeVorss & Co. They are a little different from most of the books in our stock in that one of them is a novel, a novel of transformation. It deals with reincarnation. A subject that seems to peak the interest in all of us. The other one is different in that it is a Bible Study book. But, with a very unique angle. It is a Bible Study for Those Who "Hear". I hope I can explain that to you in a short review.

We also have new musical CDs, thanks to Ruth Jacobs for pointing them out to me. I hope we have enough left to photograph and review for you later.

Summer is almost over. I love you all!

The News for September, 2001....

Gary Simmons takes us beyond merely managing the conflict of our lives to actually embracing the conflict, allowing it to teach us what we otherwise might not learn. This process leads to peacemaking....whether it be within ourselves, in our relationships, or as a result of outside circumstances.

He integrates spiritual principles, biblical principles, biblical quotes, and martial arts philosophy as well as concepts from modern science---especially quantum theory. In this way he points us to the "I" of the storm of conflict, to our spiritual self, as the means of realizing peace in our lives.

With this book we can transform fear into fearlessness....resistance into nonresistance. It is ideal for anyone struggling with relationship discord and personal challenges and in general for everyone who feels uncomfortable with conflict.

Good story! Quick "read". Thought provoking. The story is fiction, and the healing "device" is fantasy; but maybe this simple book answers some questions for those looking for spiritual direction. Maybe now we can understand the possibility of "reincarnation." Is our ages-old mindset (that judges us physical) out of date? Are we truly "spiritual beings having a physical experience?" Do we truly come to earth, time and time again - meeting the same people in different environs - facing the same chances to learn - time and time again?

The Bible is a book of life, but sometimes people get lost shortly after the Garden of Eden. Now we can be guided to "see" more. Climbing the Mountain provides a new approach to Bible study. The reader is invited to "see" himself or herself as a climber - alongside the major Biblical characters. The CLIMB is from the understanding of Adam and Eve to that of Jesus, the Christ. All mankind is invited to CLIMB. All mankind is invited to "hear."

From the introduction: "Climbing the Mountain is not about mountain climbing. It is a lesson book for Bible study. It is a lesson book for going through life. It is not to be memorized or learned; it is to be freely modified by each reader. Moreover, it is not to be regarded as the definitive work of the Bible, for at its core is the premise that there can be no definitive work on the Bible. In fact, the title might be more revealing if expanded to Lessons for Climbing the Mountain as I have Heard Them for Myself. Although excessive in length, the expanded title subtly reveals an important truth: each of us is an individual who has a direct and personal relationship with what we call God, whether we recognize it or not. Each of us is on the way to becoming a righteous person; consequently each of us is climbing the Mountain. Each of us is developing this relationship with what we call God. "To what end?" To the end which Jesus personified - to perfecting this relationship until we, too, know that we are the beloved child of the living God."

Study Aids for Classes

How would you like to know more about your innate ability to compress the particles of God's universe into material form? Maybe you desire more knowledge of the magnetic vortex that dwells within your sacred heart center? Perhaps you would like a glimpse at future sciences that will soon alter existence on Earth as we know it. In this extraordinary book you may find this and much more.

If you are like many of us who have dabbled in the many spirit inspired books that have begun to proliferate over the last quarter century, then you will be delighted in reading this entry by Glenda Green. Glenda is an acclaimed artist who was led to embark upon the task of painting a portrait of Jesus. As she continued to follow the trail of serendipitous events that unfolded, she eventually found herself face to face with our master Jesus in her studio to pose for the portrait. A magical story leads us to the reality of this visitation, which was to continue for a period of four months. During this time a great deal of dialog with Jesus led to the inevitable publishing of all this wonderfully fresh information.

In this amazing volume of work many new principles are brought forth for our deeper understanding of our true relationship with God and instructions for returning to our unique covenant. Jesus tells us that the original sin was simply judgment and remains to this day the single biggest hurdle for collective consciousness. Once this comes to pass, we will move into a revelation of new sciences. Many times he repeated, "Love is first, foremost, and always, because love calls everything into assembly. Love ignites union. Love unites particles and formulates relationships. The physical agent is magnetism. That power applied to physical existence is compression."

Much is offered here for assisting us in a successful life. All this was brought to us deliberately and with great loving compassion. I sincerely hope that one by one this book will become a personal manual for many. At the end of his appearance Jesus spoke these final words, "I am the lion who came as a lamb and the lamb who roared as a lion. I am the living paradox of love unleashed upon the Earth--a force to end its duality. And you are My Beloved."
