In The Name Of Jesus

Reflections On Christian Leadership

This book has a double cutting edge to it. Invited to Washington, D.C., to give a lecture on Christian Leadership of the Future, Nouwen demonstrates his own style of leadership by bringing with him a member of L'Arche Daybreak, a community of intellectually disabled adults and those who care for them and where Henri serves as pastor. What is he to do when, standing at center stage and acknowledging the applause following his lecture, Bill walks up to him and asks if he, too, may address the audience? Here is a lesson in Christian leadership the reader will never forget.
