In the Name of Jesus
Jonathan recommended that I read this. It's by Henri Nouwen. I've heard his name tossed around many times before, and I "know" who he is, but I'd never read his stuff. Jon said that this book would help me a lot. It's about true Christian leadership...very interesting stuff.Here's 2 great quotes I've found so far:
"I am deeply convinced that the Christian leader of the future is called to be completely irrelevant and to stand in this world with nothing to offer but his or her own vulnerable self."
"The leader of the future will be the one who dares to claim his irrelevance in the contemporary world as a divine vocation that allows him or her to enter into a deep solidarity with the anguish underlying all the glitter of success and to brin the light of Jesus there."
....more to come. This book is gold!!
