Paper Bag Prayers Book

I had not read anything from Nouwen up to this book. It's a compilation of the best of many of his writings, not all (like Wounded Healer). It was great to get this introduction to his thought and spirituality in this small volume. It took a while to finish but I encourage readers to read few pages a day and contemplate what you read. Speed reading will make the book far less meaningful and impactful. It is a book I could go back to for guidance in the future - it will stay on my shelf. Though I'm not Roman Catholic, this book is not overly RC. Yes, it does refer to the Eucharist on numerous occasions, but it's never overwhelming and certainly directed in a way to profit readers spiritually. A very worthwhile read for those who wish to get a kick start on the writings of Henri Nouwen.
