''We are the Beloved. We are intimately loved long before our parents, teachers, spouses, children and friends loved or wounded us. That''s the truth of our lives. That''s the truth I want you to claim for yourself. That''s the truth spoken by the voice that says, "You are my Beloved."'' - Henri Nouwen, Life of the Beloved Henri Nouwen, priest, professor and writer, devoted much of his later ministry to emphasising the singular concept of our identity as the Beloved of God. In an interview, he said that he believed the central moment in Jesus'' public ministry to be his baptism in the Jordan, when Jesus heard the affirmation, ''You are my beloved son on whom my favour rests.'' ''That is the core experience of Jesus,'' Nouwen writes. ''He is reminded in a deep, deep way of who he is ... I think his whole life is continually claiming that identity in the midst of everything.''You Are Beloved is a daily devotional created from the very best of Nouwen''s writings, paired with daily Scripture readings, that reveals our identity as children of God, and which encourages us to live out that truth in our daily lives.

"Dearly Beloved, we are gathered here today to get through this thing called life."When Prince spoke those words over celestial organ sounds in the opening moments of "Let''s Go Crazy," he wasn''t just inaugurating yet another Billboard Hot 100 hit--one of forty-seven in his career; he was also giving voice to the deep-seated and richly complex spiritual underpinning of his art. Prince is beloved by millions worldwide, and a true legend of the pop genre. Yet most of his fans don''t recognize the spiritual messages coded within his work, nor understand the connections between Prince''s own religious devotion--which evolved over time--and the sexualized messages of his music.

In the late nineteenth century, humans came at long last to a devastating realisation: their rapidly industrialising and globalising societies were driving scores of animal species to extinction. In Beloved Beasts, acclaimed science journalist Michelle Nijhuis traces the history of the movement to protect and conserve other forms of life. From early battles to save charismatic species such as the American bison and bald eagle to today's global effort to defend life on a larger scale, Nijhuis's "spirited and engaging" account documents "the changes of heart that changed history" (Dan Cryer, Boston Globe).With "urgency, passion, and wit" (Michael Berry, Christian Science Monitor), she describes the vital role of scientists and activists such as Aldo Leopold and Rachel Carson, reveals the origins of vital organisations like the Audubon Society and the World Wildlife Fund, explores current efforts to protect species such as the whooping crane and the black rhinoceros and confronts the darker side of modern conservation, long shadowed by racism and colonialism. As the destruction of other species continues and the effects of climate change wreak havoc on our world, Beloved Beasts charts the ways conservation is becoming a movement for the protection of all species including our own.
