Life of the Beloved
Life of the Beloved | Henri J. M. Nouwen
7 posts | 9 read | 11 to read
The real 'work' of prayer is to become silent and listen to the voice that says good things about me. Life of the Beloved asks how one can live a spiritual life in a Western secular culture. The greatest challenge, concludes Nouwen, is to bridge the gap between secular and sacred within the self as a human being loved by God.

I am Christian who has been been feeling very disconnected from God lately. My friend recommended this to me a long time ago and I finally read the short volume on this sunny Sabbath.

I really loved it - very thought-provoking and moving. Highly readable.

Recommended book by an influencer I follow on Instagram and I thought why not? I was meaning to add spiritual reading to my tbr anyway.
I was enthralled by the writing. The author opens a whole new door for believers to understand Christ in a new light or rather how you should look at yourself in the eyes of God. It‘s all so new to me that I‘m going to read this again to understand it better. I highly recommend it!

Rating:5/5

i.besteph Book description: Initially written for a Jewish friend, Life of the Beloved has become Henri Nouwen‘s greatest legacy to Christians around the world. This sincere testimony of the power and invitation of Christ is indeed a great guide to a truly uplifting spiritual life in today‘s world. 3y

Life of the Beloved | Henri J. M. Nouwen

Over the years, I have come to realize that the greatest trap in our life is not success, popularity, or power, but self-rejection. Success, popularity, and power can indeed present a great temptation, but their seductive quality often comes from the way they are part of the much larger temptation to self-rejection.
