Let Yourself be Loved by Philip Bennett

Phillip Bennett has written a beautiful, sane book on love in our lives, divine and human. Tilden H. Edwards, PhD, Founder and Senior Fellow Shalem Institute for Spiritual Formation Let Yourself Be Loved is perennial in its message offering insight about what hinders a person's ability to move more deeply into God and life. The vignettes portray human nature rather than a defined historical moment. Dr. Janet K. Ruffing, RSM, Professor of the Practice of Spirituality and Ministerial Leadership, Yale Divinity School With great sensitivity and insight Philip Bennett explores the patterns of resistance that are all too common in our lives as we are encountered by God's profligate, unbounded, and undeservedin our own eyeslove. The examples drawn from Bennett's extensive experience as a priest and psychotherapist are rendered with such acuity and wisdom that readers will be able to sit down at love's table and feast upon the divine compassion that is always ready to embrace us. Frank T. Griswold, 25th Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church Phillip Bennett brings both spiritual and psychological wisdom to the soul's deep question: Why don't we let ourselves fully know and feel God's love? This book is a modern spiritual classic. Keep it by your bedside or the place where you pray as a reminder to 'let yourself be loved!' Pamela Cooper-White, Gautier Professor of Pastoral Theology Columbia Theological Seminary Phillip Bennett's way of engaging life will make you want to live less cautiously and ever more richly.
