Discernment by Henri Nouwen
Henri Nouwen understood the spiritual life as a journey of faith and transformation that is deepened by accountability, community and relationships. And the practice of discernment is about how to read the 'signs of the times' in daily life in order to know what to do next.
Nouwen artfully explores how nature, our neighbours and our own hearts reveal God's active presence all around usLife-giving and beautiful, yet practical and wise, he invites all those who doubt, feel lost, wounded or broken to discover the beating heart of love at the centre of the world. -- Diana Butler Bass, author of Christianity After Religion
For most people, the very word discernment implies something heady, private and maybe even elitist. Henri Nouwen, as always, makes seemingly complex things personal, practical, intelligent and very readable - all at the same time! This is a rich and helpful book. -- Richard Rohr, author of Falling Upward
An absolute gift to mind and soul. -- Phyllis Tickle, author of Emergence Christianity
