Baptized by Love

How I Found Present Joy And Never Let It Go

A powerful, loving presence I can’t quite describe pulses through me . . . clearing my mind at last . . . I am astonished by this second chance—this feeling of warm, tender, indescribable, and unconditional love permeating me.

Here, in my naked vulnerability, I think of how, just forty-eight hours before, I felt the cold steel of a barrel beneath my chin and the icy determination that I didn’t deserve to live. Rewinding the reel of those last hours chills me to the bone. How am I afforded this moment of grace, this chance to choose love over fear? How is it that love found me in the rubble of self-loathing, of shame, of abuse and abject failure? I don’t know, yet that “I don’t know” is merciful freedom. I breathe it in, dispelling the chill.

Danét’s ability to unflinchingly express her raw innermost thoughts and feelings during moments of darkness and coming into her own light provide a powerfully transforming read. This memoir is a story of forgiveness, redemption, and the restoration of self-love and abundant joy—a resounding promise that no matter the heartbreak, violence, or trauma you’ve experienced, you can use your pain to uncover a life of present joy.

Baptized by Love is a must-read for anyone wanting to show up as their authentic selves or in need of a second chance. This grip- ping memoir is a front-row seat to how a normal person—with a family, a job, and the demands of the modern world—transforms her life by practicing unconditional love and a radical acceptance for whatever shows up in the present moment, every single day. Danét is unrelenting in her honesty and willingness to see every- thing through the eyes of love no matter how hard it is in the moment. Through her story, Danét demonstrates how actually practicing forgiveness and nonjudgment (of yourself and every- one else) defeats our stories of fear, trauma, shame, and guilt.

In the flow of life we spend our first decades accumulating fears, trauma, addictions, and all manner of troubles. They influence our perception that we are isolated and unloveable. Then comes a reckoning wherein we begin to dismantle all those self destruc- tive beliefs until we recognize who we truly are—love. Danét presents this process in her memoir. It’s poignant, at times shocking, and so full of grace and love that we can’t help but be transformed. We each have our own work to do but she provides such brilliantly lit guideposts that we begin to see- really see, who we are and what is possible in our lives. Like the beloved mystics, Danét has a way of reaching into hearts and illuminat- ing the way with her divine love.

A moving and inspiring story of the path to finding one’s inner light and truth. Baptized by Love is a riveting account of one women’s journey from living a life of fear to a life of love. We walk with the author as she confronts tragedy, addiction, and hardship, revealing her innermost thoughts, feelings and beliefs. After detailing her early “born to fear” years, she digs deep within herself to dismantle the many myths and falsehoods that no longer serve her. We witness her courage as she asks herself: “What is the truth I must tell?” As she sets out on the path to discover her answers, the road remains rocky and filled with both divine moments and harrow- ing obstacles. She looks at her life with unflinching honesty and realizes she’s been living on autopilot, accumulating habits and beliefs along the way. When she “wakes up” and recognizes these habits and beliefs are not what she wants for her life, she peels back layer after layer, and sets out on the path to figure out what she really does want. Baptized by Love takes us deep into the healing power of self-acceptance and personal transformation, and shows us how unexpected lessons can lead to a life of love, joy, and peace.

I’ve known Danét for several years and I just love her! She is real, raw, honest, loving, and yummy. She cuts through the BS stories we make up in our heads and helps us see it a different way! Baptized by Love is a perfect reflection of who Danét is. Her honest look at her life is so courageous, and she shows how making a daily commitment to Divine Love changed her life. She is a true example how you can change your life, no matter what your past is or what you might be going through now. Danét is the real deal! I’m blessed to call her a friend and that she is in my life.

I received a free copy of this book for my honest review in return. Honestly, I tried reading this book several times only making it 15ish pages each time. I gave up because I couldn't get into it. I'm a reader though, I read everything. So I tried again, only this time I kept on reading. The more I read the more interesting it got to me. I love how I've learned to take negative thoughts and feelings and turn them into positive thoughts and feelings. I love how positive she is. I do recommend.

Coffee with the Divine is a well written account of the writers experience and life transformation that she had take place after following the methods of another book called A Course in Miracles along with its Work book. This book is the authors simple guide to transform your life through all of these lessons and her thankfulness for how her life has been transformed. The transformation she speaks of is living in love instead of fear, embracing positivity. The author takes us through a lesson for each day of the year through her eyes. These lessons are sit into two ideas. One, undoing the way we think now and two, the learning of a new loving and positive perception. I thoroughly enjoyed the journey the author took us through, literally a lesson a day for a year and her perspective of how it effected her as well as how it can help us. I'm not familiar with the other book and workbook that she spoke about and her book alone stands as a testament. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

This book. so lovingly written by Danet Palmer and accompanying the lessons in A Course in Miracles, has changed my life forever. I love how she takes us through the 365 lessons and augments them with personal experiences and wisdom that brings us home to the fact that we are as Divine Love created us and we are all one on this journey. We truly can see things differently in a way that empowers and effects transformation, seeded by love and forgiveness.

Danet Palmer and her book found their way into my life right at the perfect time. With the decision to follow the daily lessons for this year I’m so glad that a guide of love (Danet) came right along with each lesson to clarify and simplify the messages. Each lesson is packed with wisdom and a way to practically apply them daily. Thank you Danet for being the love that you write about in this wonderful book. Highly recommend to anyone that is looking for love.

A close friend of mine insisted I read this book. I reminded her that I'm not a reader per se, but she knows me well and promised me that I wouldn't be disappointed. Wow--was she ever right! I hope the word "baptized" won't make people assume that it's a religious book because it's not in the traditional sense of the word. It's about the power of love, the love that each and every one of us has inside, ready for us, right there for the taking, to help experience the very joy of life. This book was not only a captivating read, but also one that gives its readers the gifts of education and inspiration of how to access the best within ourselves and, consequently, the best in others as well.

I could not put this down! I found myself going to bed early so I could read a few chapters before bed. Danét’s writing invites you on a personal journey, not only do you share in her life’s experiences it gives the reader the opportunity to look within as well. I’ll be reading this again and again! I’m already recommending it to friends and family.
