Making All Things New: An Invitation to the Spiritual Life by Henri J.M. Nouwen

4.0

A wonderfully short book about how to live a spiritual life. Nouwen talks about the constant worries in our society and how we need to put them in perspective by focusing on Jesus and making him the center and the lens through which we see all else. He concludes his short book with two ways of practicing this: attentive listening to God in prayer and in community. Nouwen realizes how different every individual is and shares how different this can look in each person. I appreciate his un-dogmatic attitude toward how people can approach their relationship with God. As someone who struggles with this I appreciate what Nouwen has to say and look forward to reading his other books on spirituality.
