{"product_id":"principles-matter-tam-barthel-9781518823848","title":"Principles Matter: Personal Explorations","description":"\u003cp\u003eUnlike many religions, Unitarian Universalism doesn't focus on worshiping a particular God or setting seemingly arbitrary rules. Instead, it's about upholding seven key principles founded on shared moral values that encourage goodwill toward all people of the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Seven Principles are simple enough on their own, but figuring out how to apply them in real situations isn't always easy-and that's where this collection of candid essays comes in. The twenty-one contributors (all members of the First Universalist Church of Denver) share their personal experiences applying the principles in their daily lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book includes thoughtful reflections from Unitarian Universalists representing a variety of backgrounds and religious traditions. A clinical psychologist discusses the principle that calls for working toward justice, equity, and compassion in human relations. A former NASA researcher writes about the principle that calls for undertaking a free and responsible search for truth and meaning. A labor lawyer considers the goal of a world community with universal peace, liberty, and justice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWithout judgment or preaching, these writers show how the Seven Principles can help us transform ourselves and the people around us. In the process, we can defeat adversity and create a better world. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tam Barthel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 151882384X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781518823848\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/06\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.49lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.34d","brand":"Tam Barthel","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48439564992767,"sku":"9781518823848","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_92e7d137-b7ba-42fb-9459-ff2680d83935.jpg?v=1777178381","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/principles-matter-tam-barthel-9781518823848","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
