What a great little book. Reminding us to slow down and to take in what is important. To make time for Jesus in our lives.

very insightful for people who worry! who does not worry? as long as we are still human being, we worry all the time. but Nouwen gives a balanced explanation about worry and use it as a useful step toward a spiritual life, to feel and experience God's presence and grow in it, which resulted in being able to present ourselves to others in community. Community of worry will become community of Kingdom of God. JBP.

An enjoyable introduction to the spiritual life. while it may seem a bit basic for well read Nouwen fans, we often need to return to basics. Certainly this book has an abundance of foundational insights. Blessings

A Must Have

This book by my favorite religious author is a must have for anyone interested in creating a life based upon solid Christian teachings. It's written in Nouwen's wonderfully readable, understandable style yet contains his usual keen spiritual insight.

One of Nouwen's Best
~ Written on Mar 7, 2007. 6 out of 6 users found this review helpful.

In this book, Nouwen writes that the key to living a spiritual life is by understanding the difference between being busy and being fulfilled. In our modern life, he writes, "There is always something else we should have remembered, done or said...Thus, although we are very busy, we also have a lingering feeling of never really fulfilling our obligations."

The solution is not a change of place, or partner, or promise. The solution lies in a change of heart. Nouwen suggests making your priorities the engine of your actions, rather than your actions the engine of your priorities. Making your spiritual center your true center will go a long way toward making your life fulfilling, rather than just full.
