Editorial Review from
Publishers Weekly
A non-denominational network of congregations,
the Association of Unity Churches espouses a
faith in prayer and the power of positive thinking
that they call "practical Christianity."
A senior minister at the Unity World Headquarters
in suburban Kansas City, Connors is a skilled
exponent for the belief system of this optimistic
movement; she is never pedantic or even overtly
apologetic. Laying a foundation by discussing
Unity’s principles for effective prayer,
Connors asserts that it is crucial to "work
on finding a God you can love and trust with
everything." Unity practitioners assert
that thoughts have intelligent life of their
own: change the thoughts and you can transform
your attitude and often alter your circumstances.
Connors anchors her perspective on the power
of prayer in the New Testament. As she progresses
through chapters on prayer for healing, change,
prosperity and fulfillment, non-Unity readers
may question whether elements of Unity doctrine,
such as the emphasis on the human mind’s
ability to create harmony and change, are compatible
with traditional Christianity. But Connor’s
engaging and anecdotal style may very well make
the practice of prayer more accessible and palatable
to readers who find themselves either in a spiritual
crisis, or alienated from the faith of their
childhood.
