About this product

Product Information

A hope-filled and profoundly simple book that speaks directly to those who want to be of service in their church or community, but have found the traditional ways often threatening and ineffective. In this book, Henri Nouwen combines creative case studies of ministry with stories from diverse cultures and religious traditions in preparing a new model for ministry. Weaving keen cultural analysis with his psychological and religious insights, Nouwen has come up with a balanced and creative theology of service that begins with the realization of fundamental woundedness in human nature. Emphasizing that which is in humanity common to both minister and believer, this woundedness can serve as a source of strength and healing when counseling others. Nouwen proceeds to develop his approach to ministry with an analysis of sufferings-a suffering world, a suffering generation, a suffering person, and a suffering minister. It is his contention that ministers are called to recognize the sufferings of their time in their own hearts and make that recognition the starting point of their service. For Nouwen, ministers must be willing to go beyond their professional role and leave themselves open as fellow human beings with the same wounds and suffering-in the image of Christ. In other words, we heal from our own wounds. Filled with examples from everyday experience, The Wounded Healer is a thoughtful and insightful guide that will be welcomed by anyone engaged in the service of others.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!

  • Required text of United Methodist Clergy for the course of study.

    This is the second book I've read by the author. It is written in a easy to understand format and not over the top, as so many religious book are today. The author is Roman Cholithic and doesn't lose view that his audience may not be, cause I'm pros taint, and a United Methodist Clergy. This was a required text for a Cousse of Study class that my denomination requires me to take. It tells of how a clergy becomes wounded during their years of service in ministry. Through that experience it helps them relate to others problems and grief, we are not robots without our own emotions and depressions. How to cope with and suffer with the laitity, that will end up healing, not curing, the both of you. Well written by someone who's been ther, done that, type of approach.

  • Life changing perspective on pain...

    This book is a revelation on healing, pain, and how it all fits together. Few books have had an impact on me as this one did. I read it more than 10 yrs ago the first time, and it continues to influence my view of God, injustice, pain, and humanity in a way that I am deeply thankful for. If you're tired of hearing well-meaning sayings like "everything happens for a reason" or "God knows what He's doing", then Henri's writing in this book can give you a perspective that is multidimensional in this area. While not negating the previous statements that people so often say, Henri offers a process of learning to see interrelationships between our experiences, our fellow humans, and God, and he offers evoking questions that will find you down the path further that you ever would have ...
