Books

Sunshine Cathedral's Senior Minister has written 10 books to date (with more in the works). Nine are currently available from online retailers such as Amazon.com, BarnesandNoble.com, and Lulu.com/shop. Here are three we are highlighting as a resource for individuals, families, and congregations. The titles are hyperlinked so you can purchase the books online.

Celebrating the Queer community, affirming the sacred value of all people, blessing this world rather than making promises about the next, acknowledging the sacred in the secular, blending and transcending traditions to create a new and relevant church experience for the 21st century, Sunshine Cathedral is a "different kind of church." Learn about the history, values, mission, ministry, and theology of this progressive church.

The Sacrament of Sharing

Financial gifts are needed to support good causes and churches are especially dependent on faithful, goodwill offerings. But giving is more than funding projects; it is a spiritual discipline that helps the giver grow. Generous people tend to be happier and they feel personally invested in the good work their gifts make possible. As much as churches and charities need our gifts, we need to be givers. This short book will encourage you to grow in the grace of giving and to experience the blessing that it is to be a consistent, generous giver.

Healing Prayers for Depression

Knowing that prayer is a power within you rather than a way of begging an external Power for help is a wonderful discovery. Using the power of positive prayer, we can reclaim our lives and our joy.

Also, ministers and members from ANY church are welcome to join us. The cost of the two day event is only $35 (scholarships are available for those who need them) and includes light meals.
