How does one live a spiritual life in a secular world? Henri Nouwen responds from the depths of his heart to this dilemna posed by his friend Fred Bratman. Nouwen's own interpretive reading of the text lends a sense of immediacy to the audiobook.

Critic reviews

"Nouwen uses Jesus' experience in baptism, 'You are my beloved Son,' and Jesus' life example of living as God's beloved, chosen, blessed, broken and given for the whole world to help readers see themselves as God's beloved." ( Christian Living)

Deep and Meaningful

This book was written by a Roman Catholic priest for a secular, Jewish friend. He tries to explain what it means to live with God and for God. I enjoyed the first few chapters and the last two, but got a bit lost in the middle. It is read by the author, who is Dutch Canadian, so his accent is interesting, but well worth listening to as he unfolds some wonderful truths .

Simply wonderful

Such a huge blessing --thank you Henri - We do need to know that we are the Beloved and live out our lives from that stand point - grounded and rooted in Christ.
