"Henri Nouwen looks at the question Jesus asked his friends shortly before his death: 'Can you drink the cup?'
In a short book, he examines the images of holding a cup, lifting it, and then finally drinking, and uses them as a metaphor for the Christian life.
Well-written, as expected by this author, and somewhat thought-provoking, but I didn't find it particularly inspiring or memorable. Still, I shall probably return to it in future."
"I enjoyed Nouwen's observations about communion and him using it as a metaphor for the spiritual life. Its a good book and a quick read. I hope to read it again."
"This Henri Nouwen book asks us to seriously consider what our faith asks of us and how we will respond. As in all his other books, father Nouwen reveals his own spiritual journey and the questions he has asked himself."
"Just OK (well there were a couple chapters that were awesome). I'm used Nouwen's amaziness and this didn't feel like his writing style. But there were some GREAT GREAT chapters that touched my hear!"
