Overview
Overview
Henri Nouwen was a spiritual thinker with an unusual capacity to write about the life of Jesus and the love of God in ways that have inspired countless people to trust life more fully. Most widely read among the over 40 books Father Nouwen wrote is In the Name of Jesus. For a society that measures successful leadership in terms of the effectiveness of the individual, Father Nouwen offers a counter definition that is witnessed by a "communal and mutual experience." For Nouwen, leadership cannot function apart from the community. His wisdom is grounded in the foundation that we are a people "called." This beautiful guide to Christian Leadership is the rich fruit of Henri Nouwen's own journey as one of the most influential spirtiual leaders of the 20th century.

A transformative look at Christian leadership
Madeleine J. - 6 years 5 months agoIn The Name of Jesus is an absolutely fantastic work on the way that Christianity fundamentally transforms leadership. Nouwen focuses on the gentle, humble, others-focused nature of Christian leadership, and, along the way, reveals many beautiful insights into the Christian's relationship with God fundamentally. It is a work that I would recommend not only for Christian leaders, but for all Christians, because the call to love and serve others is not restricted to leaders. #SummerReading
