Spiritual Direction by Henri Nouwen


I think I will put this in the curriculum I am developing. I love Nouwen. I also love that Belovedness is included in this book. It is a combination of formation and direction. It has just one problematic part because he speaks of Vanier of L'Arche. Nouwen died before anyone knew of Vanier's sexual abuse. I will have the participants skip this part, and maybe future editions of this book will take this out of the book (which is a collection of his writings about spiritual direction in one volume).

The Cruciform Leader

A good solid book with the bottom line: Loving God and loving our neighbor - this is the cruciform way, and the world is crying out for lead...
