In 2013, Eric Glassey experienced a profound moment of divine connection. God spoke to him, saying, “Make all religions one.” When he asked why, he was told, “There is a new order coming, leaving behind the brokenness of what was before.”

In One Strength offers a fresh perspective on life, our Creator, and humanity’s place in the universe. Drawing on ancient teachings from both Western and Eastern traditions, insights from contemporary authors, and divine revelation, the book explores the core truths of existence.

For readers at any stage of faith—whether in a Creator or in the universal need for compassion—In One Strength is an invitation to build something new, leaving behind dogmas and divisions that have caused millennia of suffering and strife among peoples and beliefs.

Following a difficult childhood, Eric Glassey determined at the age of fourteen to find something to believe in. Over his lifetime, he has developed a deep, personal faith partially rooted in what he had been taught in church and greatly expanded by teachings from other faith traditions and lessons from his own life experiences. His life has been a spiritual quest to understand the life given to him. Then, while in meditation, this challenge was expanded when God gave him the task to “Make all religions one."

Eric’s life has taken many twists and turns, including building an off-grid home in the woods of Northern California, driving a bookmobile to rural communities of Mendocino County, and establishing a successful mail-order plant irrigation business that served small farms and homeowners across the United States.

He has worked or volunteered in free clinics, orphanages in Mexico, with the mentally handicapped, in youth clubs, senior centers, and community centers.

He has been married for fifty years and has three children and four grandchildren.
