Rating:  Summary: Great book for anyone in Christian Leadership Review: This is the best book I have ever read on Christian Leadership and it is also the most practical. Nouwen is able to say a great deal in just a few words. Anyone working in a church in any setting needs to read this book.
Rating:  Summary: hott Review: This may be the single hottest book this year regarding our lord and father...In fact it made the best firewood i have ever found...it's times like this i thank the heavenly father for books like this, because otherwise I would freeze to death in the harsh Texan winters.
Rating:  Summary: Excellent resource for Christian Leadership Review: Using the three temptations of Christ, Henri does a superb job of bringing the three temptations to everyday life. He answers important questions of today by addressing one central idea, identity. The strength of this book is in the three identity issues, "I am what I do" "I am what others say about me" and "I am what I control."Nouwen does a great job of shutting down cultural messages to focus upon one point, our identity in Christ. A must read for anyone in Christian Leadership, especially those who teach others and desire to become relevant leaders for today. Even though this book is not the most theologically sound, the central idea is how to combat the cultural messages of America to become powerful, spectacular and relevant.
