"A must read for an person in Christian leadership. As usual, Nouwen packs a punch, filling this brief book (less than 100 pages) with profound and thought-provoking thoughts. Read it slow. I know I will return to re-read this often."
"Nouwen discusses how ministry can help today's "nuclear man" living in a dislocated world (still applicable--even though it was written in 1972).
"WHY IS THIS A HEALING MINISTRY? It is healing because it takes away the false illusion that wholeness can be given by one to another. It is healing because it does not take away the loneliness and the pain of another, but invites him to recognize his loneliness on a level where it can be shared."
"When we are not afraid to enter into our own center and to concentrate on the stirrings of our own soul, we come to know that being alive means being loved."
"One of my favorite books- surprising for me because I don't think of myself as reading deep books-and I'm sure I would not have picked it up on my own, but it was a book club read at church. I gained so much from Nouwen's writing and I am often reminded of how our wounds can help others heal. One I need to go back to from time to time."
"There is some great content in this book, but there was also some content that I didn't see in present culture. It could be a lack of exposure of the types of people Nouwen refers to in need of ministry. Regardless, there isn't much scripture used at all in this text, much of his direction is based in simple assertions from sources all over the map. For aspiring to a new form of ministry, I found the shifting, unpredictable basis for points kind of strange. I'll leave it at that."
