Henri Nouwen undertakes to talk about Christian leadership and provides a profile in stark contrast to worldly values. His ideal leader is a praying leader, a vulnerable leader, a trusting leader, one who voluntarily chooses a life of downward mobility.
Reflections on ministry and Christian leadership by one of our greatest modern spiritual writers.
Henri J. M. Nouwen (1932-1996) is the author of "Reaching Out", "The Wounded Healer", "Making All Things New", and many other spiritual classics. He taught psychology and pastoral theology at Notre Dame, Yale, and Harvard universities before becoming senior pastor of L'Arche Daybreak in Toronto, Canada, a community where men and women with intellectual disabilities and their assistants create a home for one another.
