Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A quick read that deserves to be re-read over and over
This book is truly life-changing. I read this book after borrowing it from the library. I rarely buy books that I have already read, but this one is an exception. It is so full of wisdom that I want to carry it with me and read it often. Nouwen's writing is extremely clear and accessible, he is speaking to the reader as a good friend. And yet, his message could not be more profound. He leads us to a transformation of life that frees us from our deepest obstacles to joy in our lives. There is nothing ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Life of the Beloved
Insightful and uplifting. Conveys a concept of God's love in a way that can be understood by individuals who are not well read in Christian theology.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Dated but still superb spiritual writing
I first read this book more than 10 years ago. I loved it then. It really touched me. I recently led a book group discussing this book. Some in the group found it to really touch them deeply giving them the balm they needed; others felt that it was a bit dated. They felt that this was written for a different time.

The book's initial purpose, a apology for faith, never really was met, but for the Christian seeking a deeper insight into faith this book is great.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A Great Read for those who want to go deeper
This is a well written book on our relationship with each other and the beloved. I highly recommend it for those who are ready to be intimate with God



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Life of the Beloved
Our Bible Study is using this book as their current study. Nouwen speaks to the heart.
