The mantra of many self-help books is "change your thinking, change your life." However, negative self-talk and mindless chatter stem from a skewed self-image. Native Soul goes a step deeper, gently encouraging awareness of your true essence. Unity Books author J Douglas Bottorff is an ordained Unity minister and has served churches in Michigan, Missouri and Colorado for nearly three decades. In addition to Native Soul, he is the author of A Practical Guide to Meditation and Prayer, A Practical Guide to Prosperous Living and The Whisper of Pialigos. He has written extensively for Unity Magazine and has written and recorded two musical CDs, One World and Vision of Hope.
