The Four Spiritual Laws of Prosperity
by Edwene Gaines
Recently many of us from UCCH attended a seminar featuring Edwene Gaines, an ordained Unity minister and woman of wealth. She helped me realize how important prosperity is to our spiritual growth as we move forward to express the Christ within us all. Her book
The Four Spiritual Laws of Prosperity is available in the Bookstore. I highly recommend
each of us start applying the principles she talks about to lead happier fuller lives. Edwene’s definition of prosperity is:
* A vitally alive physical body to provide a comfortable worldly home for the spiritual bodies that we are
* Relationships that are satisfying, nurturing, honest and work all the time
* Work that we love so much that it’s not work, it’s play
* And all the money we can spend

Open Your Mind to Prosperity
by Catherine Ponder
You can open your mind to prosperity when you realize the true definition of the word: You are prosperous to the degree you are experiencing peace, health and plenty in your world. (p14-15)
You can open your mind to prosperity when you realize that prosperity is a necessity for your spiritual growth, because prosperity gives you freedom to unfold spiritually. (p17-18)
A spiritual consciousness of prosperity gives you control over your possessions, rather than allowing your possessions to control you. (p17)
You can open your mind to prosperity by giving up that ridiculous idea that poverty is a Christian virtue, when it is nothing but a common vice. (p11)
As long as you relate to the Source, you will be prosperous. It is when you turn from God as the source and depend upon people and conditions for your prosperity that you have financial problems. (p18)

Open Your Mind to Receive
by Catherine Ponder
It is reported that in the early days of the Unity movement, a visiting metaphysician spoke to the workers employed by the Unity School of Christianity at their headquarters then located in Kansas City, MO. The guest speaker was introduced by Unity's co-founder, Charles Fillmore. Early in his talk, this well-meaning but somewhat self-righteous speaker said, "In my ministry, we do not pass the offering plate. We leave one at the back of the room and if anyone wishes to give something, the plate is available. But I do not stress giving."
According to the oft-reported report, that's as far as he got! Charles Fillmore walked up to the lectern and said, "You may think and teach what you wish in your organization, but in this one, we believe in passing the plate because we know the law of giving and receiving. Not only do we pass the plate in our meetings, but the plate is always filled to overflowing. Students of Practical Christianity want to give so they can prosper, and so they can help this movement prosper." (p19-20)

Turn-Around:
When Your Life is in Crisis
by Richard and Mary-Alice Jafolla
Richard
& Mary-Alice Jafolla are the former directors of Silent Unity and
were the executive editors of Daily Word. Mary-Alice holds a Master of
Arts degree in Humanities and Richard with a Master of Science in
Counseling Psychology was a substance abuse counselor.
Turn-Around
purposes that no matter what the situation appears to be the real
problem is an inability or a subconscious unwillingness to allow the
inner wisdom to unfold its plan through you. The book offers 7 brief
steps to help you realize you live in a supportive universe whose
benefits are available to you at all times. Turn-Around is a brief
process best done alone, because this wisdom resides within you and
available at all times, requires no rehashing of the past and you only
ask "where am I now?" and "where do I go from here?"
As
advertised this book is written from a psychologically sound and
spiritually centered perspective it's a spirited and earnest book
written with compassion and humor. Best of all, at 136 pages it's short
and to the point yet delivers straightforward help.
