Contrarian

I have hated this book ever since I first read it. It is incredibly light in any kind of real thought; it provides no original insights. It is practically barren of any Scriptural references. I frankly am astounded that any Christian finds anything to like about this book.

Wounded Healers or Unhealed Wounders

Whether Catholic, Orthodox, Protestant, or irreligious, Henri Nouwen's "The Wound Healer" is well worth reading and re-reading. As a pastor, professor, and counselor, I know of no concept more applicable to the minister's heart than the need to realistically face our weaknesses and woundedness. ^M
