These are the love letters that tell the story. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e 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. \u003cbr\u003e Like yeast leavening a loaf of bread, out of that meal grew the impetus for the book \u003ci\u003eDear Unity\u003c\/i\u003e, 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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eDear Unity\u003c\/i\u003e 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. \u003cbr\u003e 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Philip Ryall\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798887693972\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Whitaker House\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/12\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.73lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.91h x 6.06w x 0.82d","brand":"Philip Ryall","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47072267075839,"sku":"9798887693972","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9d979b14-6d51-4ddc-8d62-5918f6604d12.jpg?v=1753416291","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dear-unity-philip-ryall-9798887693972","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
