Unity Books

The Zen Executive: Gems of Wisdom for Enlightened Leadership is a pithy, portable book with commonsense ideas for aligning business practices with ancient spiritual principles—from a voice of experience.

From author and CEO Jim Blake, business leaders will learn how to incorporate spiritual-but-not-religious teachings into their leadership style, and spiritual leaders will find that taking a businesslike approach to their work does not exclude compassion, love, and service.

Humanity has only scratched the surface of prosperous living. Now is the time to dig deeper, not for precious metals, but for the treasure that is within us.

The work ethic used to work. It served past generations well. They made the ends meet. “Work hard and you’ll get ahead.”

Effort alone prospered many families, but not anymore. People who once prospered are now homeless. More and more children are living below the poverty level. Industries that once supported successive generations are shutting down.

Indian culture, the Hindu religion, and how their influence is affirmed in Unity teachings

I grew up in the Britain of the 1950s and 1960s so I was familiar with the influx of immigrants from India, Pakistan, and other south Asian countries happening at that time. They brought a cultural diversity that included a new and exciting cuisine.

Instead, God is love itself. We must turn our attention toward Spirit instead of specific problems.

Humanity has many needs. Millions of people starve to death each year. Why doesn’t God help these people?

Individuals who do not understand the nature of Spirit and how divine power is expressed turn from this seemingly harsh and uncaring God.

With faith, we hold the power to shift possibilities into realities.

Faith, like wholeness itself, is a divine idea.

A divine idea exists beyond the domain of time and space. We cannot describe it, define it or conceptualize it. A divine idea has infinite possibilities for expressing itself within the realm of time and space.

As with any divine idea, we can know faith only through direct experience. It is like the wind; we can see its effect but we cannot see the thing itself.

Rev. Toni Stephens Coleman celebrates her mother’s rich life in honor of what would have been her 100th birthday

The first time Rev. Toni Stephens Coleman met Rev. Hypatia Hasbrouck was in a Los Angeles courthouse. It was Coleman’s 10th birthday, and she was a ward of the city. The social worker who had driven her there sat her beside a beautiful, very composed woman on a bench outside the courtroom.

One of my hobbies is canoeing. When canoeing, I sometimes encounter the phenomenon known as “white water.” The water is white because it is running very swiftly, usually over submerged rocks.

White water, to most canoeists, is both “good news and bad news.” The bad news is that it is rather easy to capsize the canoe when in white water. And, if dumped in white water, one is more likely to be injured or even to drown.
