Lent and Easter Wisdom from Henri J. M. Nouwen (Lent & Easter Wisdom) [Paperback]

Judy Bauer (Compiler)

Book Description

Publication Date: January 3, 2005 | Series: Lent & Easter Wisdom

Thought-provoking words from renowned spiritual writer, Henri J. M. Nouwen, lead readers along a journey of conversion during Lent and Easter week. These periods of penance and celebration, lavish with rituals, help us become more sensitive to our own weaknesses and Christ's victory over sin. Through it all, Father Nouwen comforts and reassures us with reminders that God loves and accepts us even in our human state.

Each daily reflection--from Ash Wednesday through the Second Sunday of Easter--begins with thoughts from Father Nouwen on an appropriate theme, supported by Scripture, prayer, and a suggested activity for spiritual growth.

This review is from: Lent and Easter Wisdom from Henri J. M. Nouwen (Lent & Easter Wisdom) (Paperback)

I have used this book daily for Lent and it is excellent. It compares favorably with Nouwen's "Show Me The Way" which I have been using for Lent for many years now. I recommend both books highly. They compliment each other and add so much spirituality to the Lenten season. Henri Nouwen knows how to speak directly to one's heart.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Lenten Journey for Moms, February 28, 2007

This review is from: Lent and Easter Wisdom from Henri J. M. Nouwen (Lent & Easter Wisdom) (Paperback)

I bought this book for a group of Moms wanting to more fully experience Lent and to deepen their relationship with God. This book easily meets those two expectations. Each day you are given a writing of Nouwen's, a scripture to ponder, a prayer and a Lenten action. You can easily read and pray as the work is doable and applicable to your everyday. I highly recommend this to anyone wanting a more meaningful way to experience Lent.

A group of us have been using this book as our Lenten study. It has been way to open discussion about our spritual journeys.
