Rating:  - A Breath of Fresh Air
I greatly appreciated Henri's book and it was a breath of fresh air which make me think very deeply about my life and ministry. I am a former Roman Catholic and appreciate the thoughfulness of Nouwen.
Rating:  - short and easy... but a challenging read
This book is definitely a breath of fresh air in a market filled with books about Jesus being whatever you want Him to be in the mold of the world's system. It's a call to come out of the erroneous mindsets we have about leadership to embrace the humility of Christ. Servant leadership that lays down its life for the sheep. One that is not a hired hand, leading in a professional spirit. It's a short and easy... and challenging read
Rating: - Power packed resource on church leadership
Nouwen's reflections are noteworthy. As a theologian this book speaks volumes about Christ-centered leadership from a pastor's perspective. On leadership I have not read a more concise and work on the nuts and bolts of servant-leadership.
As a Christian, I am convinced that if can master the concepts in this book I can truly be a vessel that glorifies the kingdom of God. I have used this book in training seminars for my two churches and the leaders have all thanked me for the helping them develop personally and spiritually.
I highly recommend any person who wants to take their ministry to the next level read this great book on how to maximize your god-given potential.
Rating: - refreshing and continual reader!
Nouwen goes right at the heart of Christian Leadership today. I have read and re-read this book a number of times --- it will become a classic within my personal library!
With personal insights that are only capable by knowing himself well enough to make statements that are right on as it relates to the temptations of leaders, Nouwen gives hope to the future of Christian Leadership!
Rating: - The heart of the issue--loving God and loving others
A book that will change you if read with an open heart. He speaks to the heart of what it means to be a follower of Jesus Christ and shows through his own story how easy it is to be busy doing Christian things while failing to simple love as Christ loves. EXCELLENT!!
