Living Loved

Living Loved: Recognizing and Responding to God lets the reader into the private and intimate areas of the author's heart and mind. Many writers, pastors, or spiritual leaders encourage others to let God into their lives by telling Bible stories, giving snippets of generalized accounts about their own or others experiences, and by sharing philosophical viewpoints. Although not a "how-to" book, Living Loved details one person's coming to live in close, personal friendship with God. Author Laurice Shafer writes for the person who has wondered about someone else's spiritual life, hoping to find encouragement for their own experience of God. She tells of God's efforts to bring her into friendship with Him, describing it as it was...defects of character are acknowledged, God's specific interventions described, heart to heart communication between a woman and her God detailed, and healing and growth in human relationships explored. The hope that comes with experiencing God and His power to restore resounds in this book.
