<p>Carol Ruth Know was one of the front-runners in New Age spiritual thinking. The chapters in this book are a series of talks that she gave sequentially at Unity of Walnut Creek from January to March 1986. Reverend Carol Ruth Knox built Unity of Walnut Creek from a 20-person-Sunday-morning congregation into a center of three Sunday services with 450 people attending. Her secret: she saw God in flowers and trees, in dogs and birds, in the desert and the ocean, and in the affluent and the indigent. God included every-thing both the animate and inanimate. And everything in God's Creation created an opportunity for spiritual growth. Each Sunday she shared how she had encountered God in the past week and the lessons she had learned. Reverend Knox challenged her audience with quantum physics, philosophy, Eastern Religions, and whatever subject that caught her interest. She possessed the unique gift of being able to explain the most complex ideas so that people could understand; and, she expected her congregation to be sophisticated and to accept responsibility to understand. She never 'talked down' to those attending her church. As a result, each Sunday attendees would leave with tools to help them in their daily lives. Tragically in 1987, Carol Ruth Knox was murdered by an intruder in her home. But her powerful and truly relevant messages still resonate today and can help one achieve a life of meaning, of service and of spiritual mastery by embracing The Path of God.</p>

"THE INCREDIBLE JOURNEY describes the spiritual 'unfoldment' of the Reverend Carol Ruth Knox, one of Unity's most dynamic ministers. She inspired a generation of congregants and young ministers, including me, to search deep within themselves for that Divine connection which has the answers to our most profound questions. I recommend Carol Ruth's THE INCREDIBLE JOURNEY to anyone seeking guidance and support for their own spiritual exploration." - Reverend Beth Ann Suggs, PCC; Unity Minister This is not the beginning of your Incredible Journey. You have been on this path for a long time and have turned to this book as yet another step in a life-long process that has been pushing, working and expanding you. Do you desire to be more fully aware of this process? Or maybe a life crisis has led you here. Life continually grows us. We are never finished. The force, the energy responsible for our growth, continues to expand us into progressively deeper levels of consciousness. And so, this book is for those of you who hunger to be involved in your own spiritual process and want to take responsibility for your own inner lives. It is also for those who feel desperate or confused. It is for all who wish to contact the spiritual force that drives you, the force that will not let you find contentment in the external trappings of life. This book is Reverend Carol Ruth Knox's autobiographical account of her personal unfoldment and her map to aid other spiritual seekers on their path. It is a challenging, exciting, re-vitalizing process, truly an Incredible Journey. "This book offers depth and perspective for those who are choosing to look below the surface for insights that resonate with their soul..." - Gail Derin, Licensed Unity Teacher

<p>"What astonishing work and far ahead of its time, even though it is based on an ancient prayer practice..." Deborah Heartwood, MA, Sr. Prayer Chaplin, Unity Churches Unity Reverend Carol Ruth Knox shared her encounters with the Divine and the lessons she learned from them. Her messages were an anomaly for New Thought ministers. Instead of using the Divine to manifest health, houses, or relationships, she taught that God is everywhere - in every situation, even the most difficult ones. Sometimes life is hard. "But you are never alone," Carol Ruth would say, "God is here in this hard time, too! I'm not here to make your life easier," she cautioned, "I'm here to help you grow deeper." In this Book, Prayer of the Heart, Rev. Knox explains how she survived some of the darkest times of her life - her 'Dark Night of the Soul'. She shares, "I felt barren and bitter and experienced an overwhelming feeling of bondage. Do you? Are you bored and bicker a lot? Do you feel as if you are inside a gray cave and you don't know how to get out? Do you feel your relationships have not treated you right, your living situations don't work, and your general way of being is like a low-grade headache? Are you married to the 'perfect person', have a wonderful job, sleep for ten yours but you are not at all renewed and have no zest? Right. I tried to think correctly and did 15 different workshops, and even experienced spiritual 'openings' only to have them close down again and I returned to the same 'drone of consciousness' and did not'break out of the cave' Then I began the Prayer of the Heart work and entered a whole new level of spirituality."</p>
