With an Everlasting Love: Developing an Intimate Relationship with God. By William A. Barry, SJ. Mahwah, NJ: Paulist Press, 1999. Pp. 172. Paper. $8.95.
Barry has written a warm and helpful book for believers who want to overcome their inner resistance and live a deeper, more intimate relationship with God. He begins with the heartening reassurance that God desires to live intimately with us and that our desire for God actually begins with God. Then he considers the blocks that keep us at a distance: fear of God, anger, shame, and sorrow for sin. He suggests that sexuality, which sometimes obscures our path to God, can also reveal God's love. Finally, he looks at Jesus as a model for intimacy and as a means to a deeper, friendlier partnership with Abba God,
