Divine Audacity: Dare to Be the Light of the World

Thu, 01 Jul 2021 16:18:13 GMT

Experience Oneness with the Divine and Light Up the World

Divine Audacity makes the audacious claim that each of us can be “the light of the world” Jesus instructed his followers to be. Martella-Whitsett offers a path for living a deep and authentic life outside of the strictures of traditional religious categories. A refreshing approach, in essence, on how to be spiritual without being religious.

We truly find God when we go inside to connect with divine light, realize our oneness with God and others, and let our light shine in the world. Martella-Whittset looks at what “divine light” is and how it is both audacious and normal to claim it for ourselves. Next she introduces us to 12 spiritual powers we can all develop and learn to use on a daily basis: faith, understanding, will, imagination, zeal, power, love, wisdom, strength, order, release, and life itself. When we consciously shine our spiritual powers on ourselves, not only are our lives improved, but all of humanity can be enriched and transformed.

Linda Martella-Whitsett, winner of the 2011 Best Spiritual Author competition for her first book, How to Pray Without Talking to God, is an inspiring, respected Unity minister and spiritual teacher. Linda is the senior minister at Unity Church of San Antonio and a mentor for emerging leaders in new thought.

How to Pray Without Talking to God: Moment by Moment, Choice by Choice

Thu, 01 Jul 2021 16:19:31 GMT

Unity minister Linda Martella-Whitsett provides a new framework for thinking about prayer that will revolutionize the lives of readers everywhere. The good news here is that you can pray without believing in God; that you can have a rich and fulfilling spiritual practice without adhering to a set of creeds or dogmas.

Martella-Whitsett encourages seekers to look within rather than outside themselves for a God in the sky, for the spark of the divine that is at the core of their being.

How to Pray Without Talking to God shows how to develop a true spiritual practice by: re-forming the words of traditional prayers; cultivating a habit of daily prayer and meditation; learning how to pray with others.

How To Pray Without Talking To God is filled with the author’s stories of her own evolving understanding of God. Each chapter includes a section called “Talk to Yourself” that poses questions for readers to write about or share in a study circle.

Linda Martella-Whitsett, is an inspiring, respected Unity minister and spiritual teacher. Linda is the senior minister at Unity Church of San Antonio and a mentor for emerging leaders in new thought.

Still on Fire: Field Notes from a Queer Mystic

Wed, 13 Oct 2021 16:43:34 GMT

New from Unity Books!

Jan Phillips was a devoted Catholic who wanted nothing more than to be a nun and who joyously entered the convent at 18. Two years later, she was dismissed for “a disposition unsuited to religious life, with excessive and exclusive friendships.” She was lesbian. She had always known it.

“It was being homosexual that made me want to kill myself [at 12]. As far as I knew, there was nothing worse than being queer. They were perverts, sinners, hated by God, hated by just about everyone. Lezzies, bull dykes, fags, queers, lesbos—all damned, and there I was, one of them.”

Still on Fire is a memoir of religious wounding and spiritual healing, of judgment and forgiveness, and of social activism in a world that is in our hands. Phillips traveled the globe on a one-woman peace pilgrimage, raised the consciousness of women, faced her privilege on a trip to India, and is working to dismantle structural racism. Her Livingkindness Foundation supports schoolchildren in Nigeria.

“Any spirituality that does not bring about more justice, more social awareness, more right action in the world is a lame and impotent excuse for faith … My action for justice is my spirituality.”

She tells the story of her life with humor and compassion, sharing her poetry, songs, and photos along the way.

Watch the Still on Fire online event with Jan Phillips and Ellen Debenport.

Watch the trailer for Still on Fire: Field Notes from a Queer Mystic.

Jan Phillips facilitates workshops throughout the U.S. and Canada using her music, videos, and poetry to keep the heart and brain connected.

She has been a writer and photographer since the mid-1970s, and her work has been published in The New York Times, People, Christian Science Monitor, Ms. magazine, Parade magazine, Utne Reader, The Sun Magazine, and National Catholic Reporter.

Phillips is the author of 10 other books, including No Ordinary Time (Livingkindness Foundation, 2011) andThere Are Burning Bushes Everywhere (Livingkindness Foundation, 2016).

Watch the author talk about Still on Fire.

Praise for Still on Fire

I love this funny, heartbreaking, believable voice suggesting that not only her but our own spiritual journey is a collective one now. That we’re caught up together in an evolutionary moment, uniting us with our living Earth and each other.—Joanna Macy, A Wild Love for the World: Joanna Macy and the Work of Our Time

Wow! I couldn't put this down. Jan Phillips’ courage pulsates through the pages of her spiritual memoir Still On Fire. This is a powerful book by a powerful woman and written for readers who would cultivate a similar power in themselves.—Rabbi Rami Shapiro, Surrendered

Cast out of a convent as a young queer woman, this is a contemporary pilgrim’s tale toward infinite sweetness of energy both earth and humanity. Think of it as discovering the Northern Lights as a new sanctuary for the soul.—Elizabeth Birch, former Executive Director for the Human Rights Campaign

This book is a moving story of transformation and spirituality. Thanks be to God, the attitudes of Catholics toward LGBT people have changed over the last three decades. And much of that thanks goes to prophetic people like Jan Phillips for showing us that the heart of any religion is spirituality. Read this book! This narrative of conversion will help you to see the priestly, spiritual person you are!—Jeannine Gramick, Sister of Loretto and a co-founder of New Ways Ministry, a Catholic LGBTQ organization

Please read this beautiful book and embrace the vital purpose of protecting and proclaiming what the world needs from all of us—the glory and healing power of our spiritual radiance.—Dr. Roger Teel, minister emeritus, Mile Hi Church, Denver

Like the beauty of a classic symphony, the twists and turns of Phillips’ spiritual journey rises and falls with power, passion and emotion. Still On Fire is both deeply personal and broadly applicable as it dares the reader to look within themselves to find their own light and never let it dim.—Rev. Wendy Craig-Purcell, Unity Center San Diego

The Five Principles

Thu, 01 Jul 2021 16:16:47 GMT

The Five Principles: A Guide to Practical Spirituality

Ellen Debenport probes the edges of faith in this remarkable book and points the way into the future. The Christian world needs to hear the message that she brings for it opens doorways into tomorrow.
—Bishop John Shelby Spong, author of A New Christianity for a New World

The Five Principles was written to provide tools for daily living and suggests answers to the great questions of existence that humans have been asking since the dawn of conscious awareness:

What is this greater Presence that we sense around us?
Who and what are we?
Why do things happen in our lives the way they do?
How can we communicate with this Presence?
What are we here to do?

A principle is a universal law that works the same way for everyone, all the time. Five spiritual principles constitute the core teachings of Unity, founded in 1889 by Charles and Myrtle Fillmore. They show up in every major religion and are reflected in the teachings of Jesus Christ. The author encourages every reader to “work with these principles, test them, apply them to your life, and watch what happens.”

ELLEN DEBENPORT is vice president of publishing at Unity World Headquarters, at Unity Village, Missouri. She has a bachelor’s degree in journalism from Baylor University and worked as a reporter for United Press International and the St. Petersburg Times before becoming a Unity minister.

Unity Pride Flag

Wed, 11 May 2022 20:49:09 GMT

Celebrate diversity with the Unity Pride Flag. Complete with the Unity logo, this pride flag honors all genders, orientations, and identities.

At Unity, we believe in unapologetic inclusivity. Unity proudly supports the LGBTQIA+ community. We believe everyone is divine and every person shines with the light of God.

This is a more modern spin on the iconic rainbow flag from 1978, which is widely recognized as a symbol of support for the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBTQIA+) community. Inspired by the Progress Pride Flag (created by nonbinary graphic artist Daniel Quasar in 2018), the arrow-shaped lines place a greater emphasis on diversity and inclusion. The black and brown stripes represent marginalized LGBTQIA+ people of color, while the colors pink, light blue, and white are used on the transgender pride flag.

Whether you’re a member of the LGBTQIA+ community or an ally, wave this flag with pride. Bring your Unity Pride Flag to a pride parade, hang it from a flagpole, or tack it on the wall of your church.

Allow the beautiful, vivid colors of this flag to remind you of your innate worthiness and connection to divine love. No matter who you are, the Unity Pride Flag is a great way to show support for diversity and inclusivity.
