CLEVELAND, TN—February 6, 2026—RA Publications releases a new book by Jay R. Ashbaucher entitled Who Is God? Who Am I? A Guide to Unity in a Divided World, delivering a message of hope and unification in a divided world.
The author expresses his motivation for writing this book this way, “I wrote this book out of a deep concern over a much-divided world, including a divided American culture, a divided church, and dividedness all the way down to families and individuals.”
This book aims to foster unity in a world rife with division. How do individuals with diverse backgrounds live together? What is required to bring back God’s original design for the world? God, in the form of the Trinity, consists of three perfectly united persons. All of God’s creation is designed to reflect His unified nature, even though He made a diverse world. One significant global problem is that diversity no longer aligns with divine purposes. In contrast, we observe a world characterized by fragmentation. Divisions across the globe, particularly within human societies, lead to conflict, suffering, and devastation. In what ways can we cultivate unity, peace, and love within ourselves? The author’s use of “unifying factors” in this book serves to guide readers toward oneness.
