One of my most cherished books in my library is The Life of the Beloved, by distinguished priest, author, and theologian Henri Nouwen.

He has written 39 of them. Start by reading The Life of the Beloved, an easy and short read that you will surely enjoy—he will touch your heart as only Henri Nouwen can. I present this book in honor of this great and wonderful man. Please pass it forward after...

The Prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi is one of my favorite prayers that I have memorized and say quite often. It reminds me to put Jesus first in my life, and to pray often for the well-being of others, for they are true gifts of the Lord. Many times this prayer has changed my outlook on life for the better, and has lifted my spirits when I am feeling disheartened or alone. The white doves of peace help me remember that the Holy Spirit dwells within me, like the Bible says in 1 Corinthians 3:16 “Do you not know that you are a temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?” ...

I think about angels most every day. I believe they watch over us and help us in so many little ways, and even in the larger issues of our lives. Angels are all around us. Sent by God, they guide us and protect us when we are in trouble. I frequently post pictures and paintings of angels on my social media account, and I send them to friends all over the world to bring greetings and to remind everyone that they are being watched over and protected. We all need that, don’t we?

I dream every night. I always have. Whereas most are soon forgotten, there are some dreams I have that are never forgotten. These are the dreams this book is about. Eternal dreams. Spiritual dreams. Dreams that stay with me forever. They long to find expression because of their importance. Sometimes they want me to do something—pray for someone, call someone, pay them a visit, or look them up at church or some other gathering they frequent. They don’t ask me to warn anybody of any impending doom or anything like that. Just let them know that I care and that I’m praying for them. ...

When I think of prayer, the first one that comes to mind is the Our Father. That’s the prayer that Jesus taught his disciples. “One day Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples said to him, "Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples." He said to them, "When you pray, say, "`Father, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come. Give us each day our daily bread. Forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us. And lead us not into temptation.’"—Luke 11:1-4 You will enjoy reading and worshiping with this wonderful ...

Real peace—shalom—is so much more. This book explores the various aspects of shalom, with comments by the World Health Organization, the United Nations, Mother Teresa, and Christian author Max Lucado. A pleasure to read and share with others.
