A Chosen Faith: An Introduction to Unitarian Universalism by John Buehrens and Forrest Church was first published in 1989 and then updated in 1998. Each author writes a chapter describing from his point of view each of the six sources of the Unitarian Universalist faith. The six sources are direct experience, words and deeds of prophetic men and women, wisdom from the world's religions, Jewish and Christian teachings, humanist teachings, and the spiritual teachings of the Earth Centered traditions.
The book is written in a very informal and personal style which makes it interesting to read. Both authors share some of their personal experiences in their faith development to exemplify how the sources might inform one's own religious theology.
This book should be high on the reading list of anyone interested in religion and especially in the history and modern practice of Unitarian Universalism. It is an interesting and enjoyable read and I recommend it.
