A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Henri Nouwen was a spiritual thinker with an unusual capacity to write about the life of Jesus and the love of God in ways that have inspired countless people to trust life more fully. Most widely read among the over 40 books Father Nouwen wrote is In the Name of Jesus. For a society that measures successful leadership in terms of the effectiveness of the individual, Father Nouwen offers a counter definition that is witnessed by a 'communal and mutual experience'. For Nouwen, leadership cannot function apart from the community. His wisdom is grounded in the foundation that we are a people 'called'. This beautiful guide to Christian Leadership is the rich fruit of Henri Nouwen's own journey as one of the most influential spirtiual leaders of the 20th century.

Présentation de l'éditeur :

In this treasure of a book, Henri Nouwen presents a powerful vision of leadership for now and for the future. As he looks back at his own life, the author reflects upon the challenges and the solutions that are faced by today's Christian leaders. Nouwen questions may of the current perceptions of how to lead, and takes the reader back to the lessons of Scripture and the lived example of Jesus. Thought-provoking, stimulating, this is a book for anyone already involved in leadership, and for all those who may be called to it. It will become a source of inspiration and renewal.
