This book has little excerpts from a lot of his books. It is very easy to pick up and read an excerpt and be encouraged! It always feels like you are reading his secret thoughts or journals. It has been an encouragement to me that has been very easy to read in small doses.This is an excellent review of the spiritual life. Nouwen reminds us of the really important aspects of our faith.

Henri Nouwen is one do my favorite authors. I read this on a recommendation shortly after making a retreat. It changed how i approach prayer and living my daily life.
I finished this book this morning, though I am sure I will go back to it many times. What a marvelous collection of Nouwens writings on prayer! I recommend it to all who might want to explore prayer more deeply.
Great book for small group study with others...whats the point of reading about prayer if you can't pray with friends?!!? Each chapter is interesting and you feel connected to the writing, not just a Christian self-help book.
Every once in awhile you come across a book that hits you at just EXACTLY the right time on just EXACTLY the right topic at just EXACTLY the right depth. I tried to read this book a few years ago and just couldn't muddle through, but last week I picked it up with the thought, 'Either I read this book or I donate it - no sense continuing to store & dust it!' and it ended up being a divine appointment.Henri Nouwen is relatively unknown to me, but he smacks of an old-school style of writing
