About this title: The author was challenged to write this book by a friend who did not understand the Christian faith. In explaining it to him, the author draws from his own experience to write in a direct and personal way about "Being", "Becoming" and "Living" as the beloved of God. Friendship with God is everlasting, he affirms, opening new and exciting possibilities for all - Christian or otherwise - who acknowledge that a sense of innner peace and well-being so often eludes them.

1. I am God's Beloved and to realize this Belovedness, I must allow myself to be "taken", "blessed", "broken" and "given".
2. I am not an accident but a divine Choice.
3. "The unfathomable mystery of God is that God is a Lover who wants to be loved. The one who created us is waiting for our response to the love that gave our being. God not only says:"You are my Beloved." God also asks: "Do you love me?" and offers us countless chances to say:"Yes!"."
"Initially, I tried not to underline anything to keep my copy clean. But after the first chapter I couldn't resist any longer, and ended up underlining practically the rest of the book. It's so good. So simple. He wrote it in response to a friend's request, "Say something about the Spirit that my secular friends and I can hear." Basically, talk to me in words and concepts that I can understand, without being a devoted member of the church. Teach me!
Looking forward to reading more Henri Nouwen... thanks for the gift of this book, Ms. Vu."
"The book puts forward some interesting points, but for myself it did not go into defending the person against the secular world. Or how to use the spiritual living against the secular world."
