5.0 out of 5 stars Hope for the hopeless!, January 6, 2005

This review is from: Behold, I stand at the Door and Knock (Paperback)

"...it is also true that you are loved not because of some kind of imaginary perfection or cleanliness of soul, but because you are a child - the Heavenly Father's child. He will always accept you. When you throw yourself into His arms with childlike trust, He will never despise you or abandon you" (pg. 66) This book is helping me to realize more and more the unconditinal love of GOD! I find it extremely helpful for my daily meditation. It is helping me to discover the true meaning of perfection, not the meaning I imposed on myself sense childhood in which I was actually trying to "be GOD" rather than need HIM. The book is sprinkled with deep yet simple and childlike prayers to our LORD. These prayers are very comforting for me because they do not disguise who I am, but help me to be before my GOD in truth. I recommend this book to anyone who is striving for holiness but finding themselves stuck in the muck of the truth that they are sinners...this book will help you see that it is exactly YOU who GOD loves and whose door HE knocks on in every moment!

This review is from: Behold, I stand at the Door and Knock (Paperback)

I recommend this book to everyone searching for the answer to the questions:What does it mean that God is 'knocking"? How do I know when it is God knocking?..How do I answer His call? This book reminds the reader that God's "knock" is very simple and very powerful, and ALWAYS love! In His mercy , He asks only that we see ourselves as beloved sinners and abandon ourselves to Him as such! How do we do this?...read this beautiful and hope- filled book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Gentle Truth, January 11, 2005

This review is from: Behold, I stand at the Door and Knock (Paperback)

What a gift! This book is helping me make sense out of the tensions in my spiritual life. Funny what the Truth can do! In a gentle way, it reminds me that God knows me through and through, so I can quit hiding who I really am and just let myself be loved. For this, I am very thankful.
