Discernment: Reading the Signs of Daily Life

Discernment: Reading the Signs of Daily Life

<p><em>Discernment: Reading the Signs of Daily Life</em> features the wisdom that spiritual leader and counselor Henri J. M. Nouwen brought to the essential question asked by every Christian and seeker: What should I do with my life?<br /> <br />Nouwen emphasizes listening to the Word of God€"in our hearts, in the Bible, in the community of faith, and in the voice of the poor as a way to discern God€s plan.<br /> <br />Although the late Henri J. M. Nouwen counseled many people during his lifetime, his principles of discernment were never collected into a single volume. Now, in association with the Nouwen Legacy Trust, Michael Christensen€"one of Nouwen€s longtime students€"and Rebecca Laird have taken his coursework, journals, and unpublished writings to create this and other books in the series exploring God€s will for your life.</p>
