Customer Reviews

Come Away By Beloved is a wonderful book.

When I first found this book in 1968 it was so very powerful in the writing, that I felt a strong communication with the Lord. I gave away many copies throughout the many years that followed. After being a widow for 8 years, in early 2003 I began communicating with a gentleman on a Christian dating site, I asked him early on what he did for a living. His response stopped me in my tracks, I work for my mom, she's a Christian author, have to heard of the book "Come Away My Beloved?" Naturally I was astounded! Following months of communication and dating we married, and I ended up with the wonderful author, Frances J. Roberts as my mother-in-law. The many hours of visiting and helping care for her was a job that was not a job, but a time of joy and learning from her. Such a huge blessing for me! Thank you, Lord!

Great Book!

I was given this devotional books years ago and it's truly one of my favorites. I've worn the first copy out and now replacing it, along with extras to share with others. What a spiritual help this book has been. PTL!!

"We don't search for Books, but they search for us...if they are written by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit!" This is a quote from another favorite author of mine, John Zavlaris. And how true this is! When I first desired to hear the voice of God with more clarity, He sent this book my way. It has been a tremendous blessing (after the Living Word in the Bible). I immediately felt as if the heavens started to open (as well as my heart) as I read the writings in these pages. They communicate the heart of my Beloved, as I listen with spiritual ears and start to see with spiritual eyes (my heart). If you desire this, prepare for an intimate journey with your Lord. "Nosotros no buscamos los libros, sino que ellos nos encuentran a nosotros...siempre y cuando sean escritos por la inspiracion del Espiritu Santo!" Esto es escrito por otro autor favorito mio, John Zavlaris. Y que cierto es. Cuando empece a desear oir mejor la voz de mi Dios, El trajo este libro a mi vida. A sido una gran bendicion (despues de su Santa Biblia). Senti que se me habria el cielo (y mi corazon) al ver con ojos espirituales y al escuchar su suave voz atravez de estas escrituras que llevan el mensaje del corazon de mi amado. Si este es tu deseo, preparate para un viaje intimo con el Senor. The Secret of the StairsCome Away My Beloved - original EditionGrooming the Next Generation for SuccessLa búsqueda final

Christian Book Previews

In the hurried pace of today's world, it is imperative that believers actively pursue a close, personal relationship with the Lord. However, in order to do that, each of us must set aside the time to come away and seek out the Father's presence; for though we know and believe that God is with us everywhere, still, we must learn be quiet and to shut out the noise of the world in order to listen instead to the voice of God. Then, and only then, can we be renewed and refreshed. Come Away My Beloved, written by Frances J. Roberts, is a devotional classic that seeks to help us do just that. In its updated form, it has the potential to minister to the hearts of a whole new generation of Christian believers. According to Adrian Rogers, Senior Pastor at Bellevue Baptist Church in Memphis Tennessee, "Frances Roberts has blessed the multitudes with this book. In a world of speed and noise, this volume is a quiet oasis for the weary soul. It deserves wide distribution and personal appropriation." Based solely upon and filled with God's written Word, Come Away My Beloved provides a mix of comfort, conviction, and compassion; it is designed to draw the believer, in whatever stage of Christian growth he or she may be, into a more intimate fellowship with the Lord. Underscoring the truth that God says to us all, "Only as you know Me can you come to be more like me," this unique devotional book is a wonderful aid that can be used alongside the scriptures in a daily quiet time with the Lord. Truly, "The earthly obscures the heavenly," but this book allows its reader a glimpse of eternity through the eyes of Christ, and opens the door to closer fellowship with the Father through the power of His Holy Spirit. Its insights are suitable for all believers. -- Nancy K. Brown, Christian Book Previews.com

In A Spiritual Slump? Read This!

This is a beautiful book. It is beautifully made and more beautifully written. I got it at a time in my life that I felt spiritually dry. It has helped so much! It makes you realize that you have a loving Heavenly Father. Not One who is just waiting to punish you. It is like love letters from God. I thank God for such a blessing!

Heavenly Perspectives

I have had this book for a long time now, but only recently started to discover what a gem I had. I found it, a good few years ago, among a pile of second hand books I was rummaging through. About 2 years ago I read one or two extracts and found it so comforting that I immediately passed it on to a friend! Two months ago it came back to me - unread! But what a blessing it has been. I think the author is a lady, but I'm not sure. One thing that I am sure of though, is that it is authored by a saint. It is written, in the main, "as if" the Lord were speaking directly to Frances. She/he seems to be documenting the constant love and comfort, and also loving correction, that the Lord is pouring into her life. It is this heavenly perspective which interprets and redefines all that comes her way - the nominal church, the demands on time, the lures of the flesh etc. Superimposed upon all the manifold and varied revelations is one of a gracious, tender, loving and strong Father. The true Christian will immediately recognise that One to be his God. Because all believers who truly long for closeness with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ, share a similar pilgrimage, you will find, as you come to this book, prayerfully (or at times in utter spiritual bankruptcy), that again and again it will speak precisely to your condition. But don't make it your God - heed the warning given often in this book of finding God for yourself. Frances wants you to come to Jesus and hear what He has to say to you, in your circumstances and calling - and so does Jesus, I might add. But get a vision of love, sacrifice, discipleship and devotion here that has almost been lost in the polarising camps of the laid-back-Christian-seeker-friendly-entertainment cult and the over-doctrinal-classification-artistes, who want a revival of Puritanism in our day. Get to the marrow - you'll find plenty of that here. (This review relates to the non-updated version)

A wonderful amazement of God's Love.

It will touch your heart, pierce your soul and correct wrong mindsets. It will make you weep Godly tears of joy. It will bring you closer to your Heavenly Father with words of wisdom and insight. A must for any Follower of Christ hungry for a deeper relationship with God. Ready for a touch of fire from the Holy Spirit? Then this book is for you. Read it often and always.
