Life of the Beloved : Spiritual Living in a Secular World

A spiritual master shows us how to live a life of spiritual assurance in the midst of difficult life situations.

This book was born in response to personal requests asked many times by a variety of people--many of whom are far removed from any traditional religious base--for Nouwen to describe the way to live a spiritual life in a material world.

Nouwen's answer is both a challenge and a promise that life works, has deep meaning, and is worth all the pain and struggle.
