The Tao Te Ching is one of the most loved of the world's great spiritual and philosophical classics. Written some 2500 years ago by Lao Tzu, it offers a path of harmonious and balanced living. In this text, a minister in the Unity Church, shows how this "manual on enlightenment" can be used by Christians as a resource for spiritual growth and renewal. Reading selections from the Tao Te Ching, he reveals the benefits of humility, living in the present moment, spontaneity, humor, and openness. Barrette does a fine job linking this ancient resource to the spiritual practices of modern day Christians. The Tao of Unity has added value in that it hurrahs poetry as a sacred art that stirs the senses and engenders intuition and imagination.
