Devotionals are a wonderful tool to focus and encourage us in the Lord. But many of them don't attempt to directly deal with our experience of utter spiritual impoverishment. Nouwen's book is a treasure because his words come from this place of darkness but are intent ...

Father and Sons.....
Nouwen is one of the best and most accessible writers in modern Christianity. His work is ecumenical in nature, though some believe he reflects to much his own particular denominational family. This book as a meditation on Rembrandt's painting of the same name, is one ...

Paulist Press, 1984

With gentle humor, Brother David teaches us gratefulness...
One of the things I first noticed about this book on being grateful is that it has sold many thousands of copies. Mine says, on the cover, "65,000 in print." That's a kind of best seller on a subject by a monk, a contemplative, and promises along the way by its ...

Great book for contemplation
During my fast, and contemplation, times and again, I'm drawn to this little book. It is a great book. This little book slowly, bit by bit, through 3 meditations on Christ, directs my mind from the "secular world" to Christ. It draws me to silence, to face myself, ...
