Dear Unity : Overdue Love Letters To Heal A Divided Church
$18.99
It began with the breaking of the bread and became a Movement. These are the love letters that tell the story.
During the global Week of Prayer for Christian Unity in January 2024, Australian entrepreneur Philip Ryall and his wife Jennie invited more than sixty church leaders from various Christian backgrounds and denominations into their home for what they hope will be the first of many Unity Meals around the world.
Like yeast leavening a loaf of bread, out of that meal grew the impetus for the book Dear Unity, a collection of thoughts from over thirty prominent Christian leaders around the world. This powerful compilation of personal reflections, teachings, back stories, and cross-denominational letters brings a whole new perspective on the way we view our fellow believers. What they all share in common is a desire to see the rich diversity of the church become one body in Christ, as Jesus so wanted us to be.
Dear Unity is both a book and a movement centered on building a culture of honor between brothers and sisters in Christ through shared experiences and overdue expressions of love. Starting with influential figures within the global church, it’s designed to involve everyone from the leaders to the layperson, to move beyond any past walls of division to embrace what unites us at our core.
Among the authors are Randy Clark, president of Global Awakening; Cardinal Raniero Cantalamessa, capuchin friar and preacher to the papal household; Darlene Zschech, singer-songwriter and lead pastor of Hope Unlimited Church; Francis Chan, founder of Crazy Love Ministries; Nicky Gumbel, pioneer of Alpha; Heidi Baker, Mozambique missionary and CEO of Iris Global; Bo Sanchez, founder of Light of Jesus Family; Dr Jerry Pillay, general secretary of the World Council of Churches; and Bill Johnson, senior pastor of Bethel Church in California.

Tinderbox

Piqued by curiosity, Sylvia unlocks the cherished heirloom, not realizing that what she is about to discover will splinter apart her happy life.
Once Sylvia overcomes her shock, she confronts her father about the contents of the box. To her amazement, the respected convert to the Old Order admits that he is not fit to be a member of the Hickory Hollow Amish church–in fact, he never was.

The long-kept secret alters everything for the close-knit family, and when word of Earnest’s deceit reaches others in the community, the truth pits Amish neighbors against one another and threatens to dry up Earnest’s livelihood–as well as to break up Sylvia’s engagement to the preacher’s grandson.
Can the Millers find a way forward through the turmoil to a place of forgiveness and acceptance?
