Life of the Beloved: Spiritual Living in a Secular World
This spiritual classic began as a simple request from one friend to another. Fred Bratman, a secular journalist and writer, asked friend and reowned author Heri Nouwen to write a book explaining the spiritual life in terms that he and his friends could understand, avoiding theology and technical language. "Speak to us about a vision larger than our changing perpectives and about a voice deeper than the clamorings of our mass media. Speak to us about something or someone greater than ourselves. Speak to us ...about God." more

I read through the scathing one star review prior to ordering this book and while some of the points that were made in that review are valid, I have to disagree with that review. Nouwen was asked to write something about spirituality for...

This book has made such an impact on me and others that have read it. The ladies of my church are reading the book as a book study. The fact that a Catholic priest is writing it to his Jewish friend makes it even more far reaching....
