Book Description
This groundbreaking book provides the missing link in the long and frustrating search for inner peace, joy and fulfillment. Readers who have come out of recovery, undergone therapy or tried other methods of self-help and self-development--yet still feel that something is missing--will find the answers they seek in this volume. Do I Have to Give Up Me to Be Loved by God? offers the much-needed path that shows readers how to move out of the earthly perspective and into the spiritual perspective--out of fear and into love, out of the need to control and into trust. It is the path that will teach readers how to live in truth, how to love themselves and others, and how to connect deeply with God so that they can embrace the infinite gifts and blessings of being alive.

The book includes many anecdotes and case histories from the author's twenty-six-year career as a psychologist, as well as from her personal experiences of direct contact with God. In a clear and easy-to-read style, it presents a simple six-step process that will lead to soul evolution: being willing to face our fears, feel our pain and take responsibility for our feelings; choosing to learn by inviting spiritual guidance into our hearts and releasing our personal will to God's will; dialoguing with our wounded inner child, exploring our fears, our false beliefs and the resulting behaviors that are causing our pain; dialoguing with God to discover the truth and the loving actions we should take toward our inner child and others; taking the loving action inspired by God; evaluating that action.

This innovative process will show readers how to access spiritual guidance, how to change false beliefs rapidly and heal shame, how to quickly move beyond judgment and into compassion, and how to attain what they really want by recognizing and breaking through the "Resistance Syndrome" that keeps us all "stuck." Moreover, the process will teach readers how to discard the earthly perspective and live from the spiritual perspective by replacing earthly love (focused on "getting") with spiritual love (focused on "giving"), and by learning the difference between earthly power (power over others) and spiritual power (the inner power to manifest one's dreams). This information is powerful and life changing because it is not just cognitive. It has emerged from the author's own inner work and from her work with her clients. Because it comes directly from her own experiences with spiritual guidance, readers will find it remarkably and enduringly transformative. Readers will learn to discard false beliefs like: "God doesn't exist," "God exists, but not for me," "I can never be good enough to please God" and "I have to give up myself, change who I really am and surrender my personal freedom to be loved by God." Instead, readers will discover that the true key to self-actualization, success, inner peace, joy and fulfillment--whether in their careers, relationships or inner lives--is the recognition that we each need to accept and embrace God's unconditional love for every being.

Dr. Paul's illuminating new book, DO I HAVE TO GIVE UP ME TO BE LOVED BY GOD? looks at the disconnection we feel within and with others as a result of (in the broadest sense) "spiritual abuse" that we have suffered. As Dr. Paul says, "Giving children anything other than love and compassion is spiritual abuse because all unloving behavior toward children creates an ongoing problem in their relationship with God. Any behavior that teaches children that they must be different (smarter, more polite, more obedient) IN ORDER TO BE LOVED [emphasis mine] by God -- or by their parents -- is spiritual abuse. Any behavior by an adult which disconnects a child from God is spiritual abuse. And any behavior that undermines a child's belief in God as an infinite source of love and compassion and wisdom that is always available to that child is spiritual abuse" (p.18). I particularly liked learning more about the false beliefs we have about God and our relationship with whatever term we each use to name our Higher Power. The Inner Bonding definition of loving intrigues me: Loving behavior is that which contributes to our own and others' spiritual and emotional growth. Often, what looks loving is just codependent, and in our addictive society, much confusion results when we act out the belief that if others really loved us, they would do what we want. If you read this book, you will learn about a new way of looking at behavior -- not in terms of judgment (a major controlling device of many religions) -- but in terms of the good reasons that parts of us have for our behavior. Life, according to Dr. Paul, is a journey about learning and loving for everyone, not about hellfire and damnation and the chosen. I know that just about every person on a journey thinks that s/he has just the right tools and resources for healing and personal empowerment, but in my experience there are few, if any, approaches and processes that are as encompassing, simple yet profound, practical, and portable as the Inner Bonding process. DO I HAVE TO GIVE UP ME TO BE LOVED BY GOD? builds on Dr. Paul's other 6 books that have so much to teach about one's relationship with self, others, and Spirit. Yes, there are many books and people and therapies and techniques out there promising us love, success, happiness, etc., but my whole world -- self, family, friends, career, spirituality -- is different because one of Dr. Paul's books literally dropped in my path 8 years ago. We live in times that are often filled with much conflict and pain, but also have so much potential for soul growth with new ways of learning to bring the best of ourselves to ourselves, to others, to the planet. Margaret Paul's work is a powerful tool for transformation. You owe it to yourself to read this book!

 4 out of 4 found this review helpful

Dr. Margaret Paul's latest book provides a blueprint for integrating spirituality into daily life. Unlike many other self-help books, Do I Have to Give up Me to Be Loved by God? takes on the deeper and more challenging questions that speak to the attachment to old patterns and resistance to change that so often prevents genuine transformation. Dr. Paul provides the reader with practical tools, offered in a step-by-step process that is designed to neutralize the negative conditioning that blocks the ability to access spiritual connection. She offers a model that if conscientiously followed will lead not only to the kind of self-acceptance that is the goal of psychotherapy, but to the deep and profound spiritual connection that is the goal of all religions.

5 out of 5 stars Tools to Turn Your Life Around, Batteries Included!   January 13, 2000
 11 out of 11 found this review helpful

I have been using Margaret Paul's tools consistently for over 9 years. If you have parts of your life that you want to change, you can choose to use this simple set of tools every day and change your life profoundly, often faster than you could have imagined.The tools are simple enough that you can teach children how to do them. Yet powerful enough that unwanted patterns that have persisted for a lifetime can lose their power and go away.

The other thing that comes with using these tools is, that by implementing the connection process, one seems to be able to draw on deep, limitless power. I know of no other process that brings the same sense of innate strength that helps you persist and carry out the tasks that need to be done to transform your life. Thus batteries are included.

What will make the difference here, is whether you can make a time every day to work the six simple steps Margaret presents. It doesn't take a lot of time. It takes consistency and growing an awareness to know when it's time to use the simple tools. Once you get the basics down, it's something you can do driving in your car, waiting in line at the grocery store, or lying in bed at night before you go to sleep. For me it's become as natural as eating and breathing. Her latest book ties together all her earlier works and focuses on the spiritual dimensions of this connection process. One does not have to believe in God to do this work, or FOR IT TO WORK. I can guarantee that. I've seen many people use the tools without focusing on the spiritual aspects. I can also tell you that if you value or seek a realtionship with God/a Higher Power, this connection process will greatly enhance that relationship. Personally, as I have been able to work with and deepen the connection process, I have directly experienced God to a greater and greater extent in my everyday life.

Do I Have to Give Up Me to Be Loved by God is a beautiful work for those that want to heal the parts of their lives that hurt. For those that want to take that a step further and reap the spiritual rewards of this connection process, this book is a wonderful guide.

For those familiar with Dr. Paul's work, this book takes it deeper. I had wonderful Aha's, as the lightbulbs turned on deep in my being. This book describes the tools, that if practiced with consistency, can be the best gift you ever give yourself!
