The Unorthodox Life: Walking Your Own Path to the Divine (River Sanctuary) by Rev. Kathy McCall
This new book published in late 2009, was written over the past 7 years by Rev. Kathy. The book has received the following endorsements:
"The Unorthodox Life is an amazing book! It is mystical, practical, and inspiring. Kathy McCall has given us all a wonderful gift that will guide and illumine us as we go forward on our spiritual journey. This is the best book I have read in a long time!”
-Rev. Rosemary Fillmore-Rhea, Granddaughter of Charles & Myrtle Fillmore, founders of the Unity Movement,
Author, That's Just How My Spirit Travels
“This book resonates with a gentle and congenial tone but carries a deep message. It takes the reader on a journey that is both personal and autobiographical, one that arouses one's own story and sheds light on one's own spiritual journey. It is well told and inviting and needed as all of us today are called to see our stories as spiritual journeys, adventures that we can choose to steer into places of ever greater depth and ever more generous living.”
-Dr. Matthew Fox, Theologian, Past President and Founder of
The University of Creation Spirituality,
Author, Original Blessing, A Spirituality Named Compassion,
The Coming of the Cosmic Christ, and others
“I want wholeheartedly to endorse this wise, brave, clear and profound book. Kathy McCall guides us through her vision of the revolution of the Direct Path and its transformative crucial importance at this stage of history with grace, learning, radical honesty, and humility, a humility that makes all welcome.”
-Andrew Harvey, Author, The Direct Path, Return of the Mother,
Son of Man, The Sun at Midnight, and others
"As surely as inhaling of air is followed by exhaling, and night the day, so does this book follow the pattern of its creator, the Rev. Kathy McCall. McCall is a master at storytelling and inherently the story gives birth to its "point." The Unorthodox Life: Walking Our Own Path to the Divine is filled with pragmatisms and mysticisms that lead one into a direct experience of the Divine. Nor do the points of the stories stop in the reading. As a true spiritual guide, McCall closes the chapters with exercises that encourage and assist the reader in walking the path to the Divine. This author provides inspiration in print and excites the reader with insight into the depths of his/her own psyche, with a map to navigate one's world, with understanding of self and others, and midwives an understanding of our place in the universe. This book is a keeper, a “must read” for beginning and re-reading for advancing students of life."
-Rev. Glenn Mosley, Former CEO, Association of Unity Churches, Author, Global Positioning for the Soul: New Thought, Ancient Wisdom
"The Unorthodox Life is one of the most interesting and compelling accounts of an authentically evolving spiritual journey that I have read in a long time. The breadth and depth of lived spiritual experience revealed in this book is alive and growing; it is both profoundly moving and deeply instructive. If you are a person who takes science seriously, and at the same time has an inescapable feeling that rationalist materialism is not enough to make deep sense of your experience, then this is a book you owe it to yourself to read."

The Living Labyrinth: Exploring Universal Themes in Myths, Dreams, and the Symbolism of Waking Life.
Vision Statement: Centered in God, we create a world of love, harmony, and abundance for all.
