Wonderful introduction

I am only halfway through this book, and it is giving me a wonderful introduction into Unitarian Universalism. I recommend to anyone who has questions about the faith or wants to better understand where it finds its roots.

Eye Opening

For about ten years now I have struggled to find my spiritual niche. I was brought up Methodist Christian and never felt comfortable about my faith, that is until I read this book. The beliefs and practices of the Unitarian Church completely coincide with mine and many other family members and friends of mine. After reading this book I am now very optimistic about having a spiritually fulfilling life.

A Great Place to Start

This book is a wonderful introduction to Unitarian Universalism. It is easy to read and explains well a religion that many people have a difficult time describing. After having read this book it is always the first book that I reccommend to persons who have have questions about Unitarian Universalism.

wonderful

I am a fifteen year old UU, and this book has really helped me to understand my religion. Often when my friends ask about my religion, I have to give an inadequate answer because UU is so hard to explain in a short amount of time. I really enjoyed reading this book. It helped me a lot, even though I've been going to a UU church all my life.

An Excellent Introduction to Unitarian Universalism

This book clearly explains what Unitarian Universalism is. At the same time, it is an incredibly enjoyable read. I find it inspirational and insightful. I recommend this book to anyone looking for an open-minded faith that emphasizes service and the search for Truth instead of dogma.

Seekers of truth and meaning often turn to liberal religion

Unitarian Universalism offers seekers a map to find truth and meaning in their lives. This book helps identify the markers one looks for on this journey. Buehrens and Church discuss in casual, easy to understand terms, the path and markers in Unitarian Universalism, and offers needed language to feelings and matters religious for those in search. This is a difficult religion. It requires commitment and an open mind. This book helps guide the new comer toward becoming more comfortable with the difficult explanations. Highly recommended.
