About the author
The Reverend Hypatia Hasbrouck began her spiritual studies at a tender young age reading Unity's Wee Wisdom magazine as a child. She applied her understanding through the practical use of positive thinking and positive prayer all of her life. Before entering the ministry, Hypatia spent twenty years in education and drama. After being ordained in 1974, she served as dean of Unity Ministerial School at Unity Village and director of education for the Association of Unity Churches, and was a minister at churches in Missouri, Kansas, and California. Through her years of service, she collected and adapted various prayer techniques. As a result of repeated requests from the ministers-in-training in her classes, Hypatia compiled her most effective techniques in the Handbook of Positive Prayer, now in its first electronic printing.
Rev. Hasbrouck's primary objective was to teach the transformative Truth of Jesus Christ and help people apply the principles of practical Christianity to their own spiritual development and in their daily lives.
She made her transition in January 2001.
