Have you read anything by Henri Nouwen? I appreciate a lot of what he has written. I am reading through a book right now by Charles Ringma called "Dare to Journey with Henri Nouwen."
I am getting many insights from this little book and what I love is that they all point to the Lord. This morning there was a quote from a prayer by Nouwen that said this, "I live as though there were something important to be found outside of You." I was really struck by that. Food for thought and hopefully continuous action.
I've always enjoyed the Henri Nouwen quotes I've seen other authors use. I have read The Wounded Healer, by Nouwen, but nothing else. I look forward to reading more of his work in the future. :)
ReplyDeleteNouwen is one of my favorite authors. He wrote In the Name of Jesus, which is one I highly recommend.
ReplyDeleteLooks like your travels have gone well. Prayin for you.
hey, chickie! yeah, i've read several of his books ... he was definitely my favorite author for a while. you should check out his book "can you drink the cup?"
ReplyDeleteThank you for coming to 1.3. It was really nice to see you. If possible, I would love to go to coffee with you before you leave...
ReplyDeleteTake care... Amy
Every time I see one of his quotes i think to myself, "I should read some of his stuff!" and then he gets put on my mental list of books I want to read... maybe I'll get to him in the next 5 years... why are there so many awesome authors out there? Anyhow... I'll be ruminating about that quote all day... and thinking of you...
