Mornings With Henri J. M. Nouwen: Readings And Reflections

edited by Evelyn Bence (Servant Publications, 1997)

Here is an attractively formatted book in slim hardcover, measuring only 5 1/2 x 6 1/2, offering 112 short quotes harvested from a generous cross-section of Nouwen's complete works. All quotes are tailored to fill no more than a single page, adding to the appeal of the format.

While clearly aiming to benefit new readers, Bence, a former religion editor at Doubleday, states in the introduction her hope that "...Nouwen enthusiasts might find here a compact refresher, insights that will challenge their walk, lighten their load, and draw them close to Christ and to the memory of an old friend." Excellent for gift- giving for any special occasion.
