Review: I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Its small but packs a punch. As a Christian studying to be a counsellor, I wanted something that would guide me as to how I can mix my two passions effectively; counselling and faith. Nouwen shows that the two can go hand in hand without conflict. Throughout my studying as a counsellor my own wounds have inevitably come to the surface and this book has helped me to not run from them but to embrace them as gifts to help others to heal. I absolutely loved this sentence "The great illusion of leadership is to think that man can be led out of the desert by someone who has never been there." This is one of those return to books to remind you what loving others is all about and the gift to be found and shared in your own pain. I can't recommend it enough. Not just for ministers and leaders but for anyone who desires authentic interactions with those who are in pain

Review: I found the first 2 chapters difficult but the last 2 good. Maybe this is a classic but I don't think it is for the faint hearted. Even though I have been in the healing ministry for over 20 years and know H.Nouwen's other books I don't think I would recommend this one.
