A Friendship Like No Other: Experiencing God's Amazing Embrace William A. Barry Sj

Live in the love of a God who desires a relationship with you.
T?hroughout A Friendship Like No Other, renowned spiritual director William A. Barry, SJ, explores the premise that God wants to relate to us as a close friend. Barry has contemplated this idea?radical for many Christians?throughout his lifetime, and he explains that it actually traces back to the ?developing revelation of God contained in the Bible.?
A Friendship Like No Other offers three well-supported and practical sections: prayerful exercises to help lead you to the conviction that God wants your friendship; a close look at objections to this idea; and reflections on experiencing the presence of God and discerning those experiences. Brief, personal meditations are woven throughout.
Grounded in biblical tradition and with a clear focus on Ignatian spirituality, this book offers a fresh, heart-changing approach to living joyfully in the freedom of the divine embrace.
