Jesus, the Gift of Love

What an excellent book! How well written, and how insightful. By reviewing how we develop, with all those visible and invisible, subtle and overt, influences what we all encounter as we go through our early years, Vanier helps us understand ourselves, why we think this way and not that way, why we do this and not do that, and why we are frightened by our world as it develops around us. Then he brings Jesus into the picture, and tells how Jesus is so understanding and loving, and how we can finally allow ourselves to let Him be our lover, and our God, so that we can live in His peace. So good I have ordered five copies as gifts, and i need half a dozen more.
