Discernment: Reading the Signs of Daily Life by Henri J.M. Nouwen

3.0

This was was a harder Nouwen read. The "aha" moments largely came in the Epilogue and Appendixes. It is tempting to dismiss what precedes these chapters, but that would be a mistake. Though dense and somewhat redundant in the efforts to use Nouwen's works as originally written, they lay the groundwork for a more thoughtful understanding of discernment, preference for the poor, spiritual journeying, the necessity of community, and the beauty of eucumenical faith. We are more alike than different!
