Ah...I love this book. I had read a lot of excerpts from it, but never the whole book until now. It helped me to see Nouwen's whole train of thought. I appreciate how he wrote it as an encouragement to a friend who was seeking a relationship with God; it is written with such warmth. I know I will return to this book again and again. It is a sweet reminder of God's great love for us and what a sweet place He is to be.

We read this for a book group. It had some good food for thought and discussion. The world would certainly be a better place if we all truly believed we were beloved.

Really lovely book. I especially liked Nouwen's definitions of friendship and belovedness. Felt a bit self-helpy and vague.
