Do I Have to Give Up Me to Be Loved by God?

by Margaret Paul, Neale Donald Walsch

A Powerful Process to Connect with the Divine Whether you think of God as a nebulous entity who exists only for other people, or you are a religious person hoping to deepen your faith, this groundbreaking book will guide you in developing and strengthening a personal relationship with a Higher Power.

"I have met people who have^opened themselves to God with their whole hearts, but they still do not know how to personally experience God," explains author Margaret Paul, Ph.D., who has helped countless individuals fill their spiritual emptiness that left them anxious, depressed or feeling "stuck" in relationships or careers. Dr. Paul shows readers how to relinquish earthly love, which focuses on getting, and to embrace spiritual love, which focuses on giving. By so doing, readers will connect with the Divine by discover­ing their true creative, intelligent and forgiving self. Readers will explore their resistance to God; break down false beliefs about religion; eliminate the need to control God; heal self-destructive or addictive behaviors; and wel­come more love into their life. Most importantly, they will learn how to use spiritual power instead of power over others to manifest their dreams.

I wish this book had a different title because I think the title is a turn-off for most people who have been raised with an understanding of a loving Heavenly Father. The book is interesting and insightful and teaches tools that most everyone can benefit from.

originally, I wanted to purchase “do I have to give up me to be loved by you” by the same author, but somehow ended up receiving this one. - best mistake ever-

This book + healing your aloneness are EVERYTHING. I’ve been reading a lot of self-help books for the past 10 years, and I’ve done tons of inner child healing but no one has ever told me about the “connecting with a spiritual source”, “developing the inner adult”, and “taking a loving action” steps, which were a game changer.

*I had to go to inner bonding website and read different FREE articles at each step to comprehend and really understand it. I ended up getting two sessions with Karen (inner bonding practitioner) and Margaret, which also helped me a lot.
