Nouwen in the name of jesus free download

The central question is, Are the leaders of the future truly men and women of God, people with an ardent desire to dwell in God's presence, to listen to God's voice, to look at God's beauty, to touch God's incarnate Word and to taste fully God's infinite goodness? He asks us to move from a concern for relevance to a life of prayer, from worries about popularity to communal and mutual ministry, and from a leadership built on power to a leadership in which we critically discern where God is leading us and our people.

It is the image of the praying leader, the vulnerable leader, and the trusting leader. May that image fill your hearts with hope, courage, and confidence as you anticipate the new century. Welcome back. Just a moment while we sign you in to your Goodreads account.

The temptation here is to be the self-made person who can do it all — the person everyone else looks up to — the person others need. We desire to be people who draw converts, meet the needs of others, the people that crowds flock to listen to.

Nouwen offers confession and forgiveness as the antidote to the desire to be spectacular. Accompanying these is the last thing Nouwen addresses, his view that we should move from leading, to being led — a movement from power and control, to powerlessness and humility. Humility is not a natural way of being, which is why the spiritual disciplines such as contemplative prayer are so important.
