Beautiful reflections
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago
This is a great book and a reliable source of inspiration. I haven't been a big reader of Nouwen, not so interested in books that preach to me. But his journals really reach me. I can identify with the struggles he faces and apply his thoughtful reflections to my life. I recommend this highly to all who can be turned off by traditional spiritual or inspirational reading.
Stepping Beyond Security
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
September 24, 2000In Henri Nouwen's journal entries, he captures each moment and thought of his struggle to find God's calling during his journey through Peru and Bolivia. Not only does he describe his own feelings, but also the joys and struggles of the people he came in contact with. His journal depicts the true venture of stepping into mission work or at least stepping outside of our everyday life in search of our place in this world. He gives encouragement to those who are searching and have felt a calling to go out and help others. He opened my eyes to show me that it is not the number of people you help but it is the one heart that you touch that counts.
