Great Book


I really enjoyed this read from Henri Nouwen.  I've read it before and I'm sure I'll read it again.  Nouwen wrote about the renewal of people working in ministry.  He describes how the spiritual disciplines of silence, solitude and prayer can draw a person ever closer into the heart of God.  It was a good reminder for me as I seek to serve men in prison with compassion.  Nouwen transports me to Scriptures and the desert fathers in order to make his case. It's a convincing case - those who want to fill others need to be filled themselves: By the Spirit of God.
