Lent and Easter Wisdom From Henri J. M. Nouwen (Lent & Easter Wisdom)

I enjoyed these daily readings for Lent and the first week of Eastertide. Would highly recommend.

Not what I expected. Nouwen's contribution was very little.

This is the book that my group is using for Lenten Study this year! It is a great little book, and I am really enjoying it's daily meditative readings, to celebrate each day of Lent and Easter. Such as, for example, Lenton Action: (Day 12, Second Sunday of Lent) Has a daily reading, followed by a prayer, and then the Lenten Action of the day: "Carry out some "giving" actions. Clean out your closets and donate clean and wearable clothing to a charitable organization. Give blood, Do a favor for a neighbor." all ideas for actions that were fitting for that day. This is well worth what it costs, I can see I will be reading this book many times in my future. It is a keeper!

I have always enjoyed reading Henri Nouwen,and the selections presented by Judy Bauer are varied and interesting. She has paired Nouwen with excerpts of Scripture, some familiar to me and some not, that when read together are thought provoking. I especially found meaning in the daily prayers offered and faced many a challenge with the Lenten activities the author proposes. For anyone who enjoys a daily exercise and specific readings, this book provides a thoughtful and enjoyable guide.

Excellent Lenten journey!!

As always, Henri is to the point and gets to the heart of the matter. He opens our hearts to the reality that we all find hard to accept at times; our failure to be Christ to all that we meet. But as always he leads us to where we can find the love of Christ which allows us to renew that relationship and begin to share with others.

This little book is everything I was looking for in a lenten spiritual guide. I am a fan of Henri Nouwen, so the inclusion of his words of wisdom coupled with a short scripture passage and prayer is wonderful. The icing on the cake is the daily lenten action, a different good deed to do that may become impetus for future good deed doing.

I use this guide every Lent. I say guide because it offers daily advice to strengthen your faith. Has beautiful prayers and bible verses.

I am a great fan of Henri J.M. Nouwen and happily purchased this book for Lent.It arrived on time the packaging was good. This book has been compiled by Judy Bauer.From Ash Wednesday to Easter, each day has a page filled with the wisdom of Henri J.M Nouwen, a Scripture Reading a,daily prayer and a Lentern Action. As it is only one page per day it is a small but faithful way to walk through Lent.

Wonderful wisdom.

An excellent book - easy to use on a daily basis

Well Packaged and arrived in good time. Very happy with everything. Am enjoying this discipline for Lent.

Came in the time scale promised. Just what I wanted
