The author of Discover the Power Within You shares a non-theological guide to prayer for contemporary seekers: “A wonderful book…truly a life-changer" (Norman Vincent Peale).

In this much-beloved classic, Unity minister Eric Butterworth demonstrates how anyone can access divine guidance, wellbeing, and self-regulation by heeding the call of the universe.

Powerful and inspiring, The Universe is Calling will lead readers to a truer and stronger connection with the divine.

    5.0 out of 5 stars The Power of Prayer
    Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2009
    Verified Purchase
    As the author of a spiritually-themed novel,[...], I am always on the lookout for books that feed my spirit. "The Universe is Calling" definitely fits that bill.

    I have long been a seeker of spiritual enlightenment, having come from a religious background where I had been spoonfed my beliefs. That did not empower me to discover the truth within myself. Consequently I felt empty and disconnected.

    As I began my spiritual journey, I discovered that all truth resides within. Everything that is in this book speaks of truth to me. This is a book that transformed my prayer life as I believe it will do for you. It taught me how to take charge of my prayers by letting go of my concerns and affirming that only those good things that I desired would manifest within my life.

    Such has become the truth of my experience. New doors to exciting new possibilities have opened to me. Almost overnight, I have become a published author of a series of books that deliver spiritual truths which have been evolving within me for many years.

    Eric Butterworth has affirmed these truths for me. The beautiful thing about this book, and every book he has written, is that his language is clear. His suggestions are practical. He manages to instill confidence in his readers that they may come to enjoy and abundant life.

    5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best of this genre
    Reviewed in the United States on June 16, 2015
    Verified Purchase
    I had been feeling a spiritual void for awhile and this book was just what I needed. Years ago I got started on my spiritual quest with a book called "The Power of Your Subconscious Mind" by Joseph Murphy. Until now, that has continued to be my favorite, although I've read a multitude of books in this genre since including those of Wayne Dyer and Rhonda Byrne. This book has similar messages but more succinct and easier to understand. Butterworth uses parables from the Bible but more from an historical perspective rather than a literal one . He often references the teachings of Jesus but does not preach. What I liked best about it was that it is very spiritual but not religious. He dismisses the idea of an anthropomorphic, judgmental God and reminds us that the Divine Power is within and part of us all. It's a quick read and his messages really resonated with me.

    Mr. Butterworth presents the practice of prayer in a way that is different than my Christian up-bringing. At 50+ I am now ready to read this. I certain would not have been able to understand, ponder, and reflect upon this book any earlier in my life. This book challenges my assumptions about prayer, God, and my view on the presence of God in me. I would recommend this book to persons who are dissatisfied with their religious practice, but are deeply spiritual. The author does an excellent job of positioning spirituality, faith, and belief in God so that any person, with any faith tradition, may read this and learn from it. This book is truly non-demominational for all persons...including those who question the presence of God in their world. I can say that those persons who are devotely entrenched in their religion may not like this book as the author makes assertions for which you may not care. So, I challenge all to read this with a VERY OPEN MIND. You will find this book either fits you perfectly, fits a little big that you have to grow into it, or you may chose to discard it because you don't think the author is "right". This is not about being right, it is about growing your relationship to the ONE. Enjoy! I certainly will be re-reading this.

    If you are looking for a book that will empower you, inspire you, and raise your prayer practice, this is the one! The Universe is Calling .... all of us! Eric Butterworth writes about prayer and reaching a state of God-consciousness. He tells how to become connected in love; his style is easy, conversational and so inspired! I loved many parts of this book, too many to list. But the chapter called "The Great Amen" was impactful! So it is.. let it be so! We proclaim it to be manifested! My very favorite thing in this book - and the biggest Aha moment for me - was Mr. Butterworth tells us to "heal our concern" when praying for others. By turning towards the Light, you raise your consciousness and therefore the consciousness of the loved one for which you are praying. See them in wholeness, healed from the situation. Wow!

    The book gives clear, structured and concrete approach to a very abstract spiritual insight. Goes way beyond manifestation. It shows the difference between praying from the absence and the presence of God.

    Book is patient n powerful. I’m reading it to understand what prayer is n how to do it. I found many of my thoughts being answered before I was aware of asking it. I am able n willing to pray to the consciousness of God within me. I’m not praying TO god to GET something. I don’t have to beg n plead. I now realize that prayers are answered. Declare what is your right. Pray.
