The Wounded Healer
Book Review
I had never heard of Henri Nouwen, but a classmate recommended this book. At first I didn't like it. Nouwen's introduction felt weird and a little off to me. I understood what he was trying to get at, but how he got there just wasn't that great in my opinion. And, as the book progressed he uses next to no Scripture quotations and only a few allusions.
However, as I got into the middle of the book my respect for it started to build, and as the book ended, I do have an appreciation of it. Nouwen approaches things just different enough, that once I got past the things that I felt were weird (mostly), then the rest I found helpful and though provoking. I especially appreciated his description and applications surrounding leadership.
I am nuts about books. I read on all kinds of topics. I attempt to review each book I read for the sake of my own enrichment as well as conversation starters with others.
You never know what you will find in an attic! Usually there is a hodgepodge of things buried under dust.
Most of what is included here are notes to myself. The majority of folks will not find interest in these posts.
