EMMY, THE AUTHOR YOU SUGGEST

Emmy, how is it I have never heard of this author before! I went to his web site and was entranced.

Is there a particular book of his that you would recommend more than another?

Henri Nouwen

Forgot to say!

I loved this quote from the web site:

Nouwen talked about writing: "What I am gradually discovering is that in the writing I come in touch with the Spirit of God within me and experience how I am led to new places.” (“Reflections on Theological Education”)

This could be a description of Godwriting!

He also said he has learned to "trust not only my own unique way of being in the world, but also my ability to give words to it.."

Thank you for introducing me to this writer.

Also, as I read what everyone posts on this message board, I begin to feel that everyone is much more spiritually-oriented than I am! I feel very earthy next to everyone here!

I mostly read romance novels and mystery stories!

Gloria,

I have here The Return of the Prodigal Son, which is a wonderful book but I warn you. Once you start reading a book from Henri Nouwen you want to read more....... 8)
