Teach Us To Pray
Teach Us To Pray clearly shows that God is available to all who want to establish a contact with Him. Prayer is not about begging God but claiming all that rightfully belongs to us in His Truth and transforming our life and is an exciting adventure.
Charles Sherlock Fillmore (August 22, 1854 – July 5, 1948), born in St. Cloud, Minnesota, founded Unity, a church within the New Thought movement, with his wife, Myrtle Page Fillmore, in 1889. He became known as an American mystic for his contributions to metaphysical interpretations of Biblical scripture.
After the births of their first two sons, Lowell Page and Waldo Rickert Fillmore, the family moved to Kansas City, Missouri. Two years later, in 1886, Charles and Myrtle attended New Thought classes held by Dr. E. B. Weeks. Myrtle subsequently recovered from chronic tuberculosis and attributed her recovery to her use of prayer and other methods learned in Weeks's classes. Subsequently Charles began to heal from his childhood accident, a development which he too attributed to following this philosophy. Charles Fillmore became a devoted student of philosophy and religion.[5]
In 1889, Charles left his business to focus entirely on a prayer group that would later be called 'Silent Unity'. It was named this because of a legal conflict with Mary Baker Eddy over the use of the title Christian Science. That same year he began publication of a new periodical, 'Modern Thought', notable among other things as the first publication to accept for publication the writings of the then 27-year-old New Thought pioneer William Walker Atkinson.
In 1891, Fillmore's 'Unity' magazine was first published. Dr. H. Emilie Cady published 'Lessons in Truth' in the new magazine. This material later was compiled and published in a book by the same name, which served as a seminal work of the Unity Church. Although Charles had no intention of making Unity into a denomination, his students wanted a more organized group. He and his wife were among the first ordained Unity ministers in 1906. Charles and Myrtle Fillmore operated the Unity organization from a campus near downtown Kansas City

HIGHLIGHTS:
1. It is through this process of unfolding love that great souls are developed.
2. The reason why love is essential in a great soul is that love is the binding power.
3. HEALTH: Some of our best doctors say 80% of humanity’s ills would heal themselves if left alone. Don’t eat unless you are hungry. Many of our ills are caused by the greedy appetite that, it being satiated, clogs the body with surplus fuel.
4. The fact is that love is fundamental in every activity of life, not only in the spiritual and mental but in the mechanical and physical as well.
5. Souls are not created great but with the capacity to become great.
6. Tithing is one of the founding principles of financial success.
7. GOD: Take god as your partner in your daily giving. It is very comforting to know that there is a spirit co-operating with us in our efforts to manifest God’s law.
8. Fear is a habit; governed by repeated thoughts, words, and experiences.
9. SILENCE: Go into silence daily at a stated time and concentrate on the substance of spirit prepared for you from the foundation of His world. You will thus open up a current of thought that will bring prosperity into your affairs.
10. Five senses and 2 more: invitation and telepathy.

December 18, 2017Really enjoyed this book
As a Gnostic Christian I found the theology behind Charles views to be clear and well thought about. I highlighted numerous sections to go back and research.
