Description: I recently became interested in learning more about Unitarian Universalism, and although there's a wealth of information available online, I found this book to be worthwhile anyway. It consists of 7 essays by various UU figures, and addresses all the major points: what UUs believe, how congregations and the UU Association work, what programs and tools UU offers for people who join a congregation, etc. There's also a good historical overview of where Unitarianism and Universalism come from, and how they ended up merging into the UUA.
If you want a simple, pleasant introduction to Universal Unitarianism, I think this is a great place to start. I imagine UUs would also find this handy for finding ways to communicate more clearly to others what their beliefs are.
