Review 2025.06.006
Reviewers Note: It is the middle of 2025 and I am not doing a good job of keeping up with this desired goal of mine to write book reviews. I do not want to lower my expectations but I am going to so that I can catch up. This will mean short reviews on the books I read.
Intimacy by Henri Nouwen
160 Pages
I have liked the other books I have read by Henri Nouwen. This one was a little different and I almost gave up on it. I was not the target audience (necessarily) but I’m glad I finished it. The last section on training for campus ministry had a few jewels that really made it worth reading for me.
“Without silence the Spirit will die in us and the creative energy of our life will float away and leave us alone, cold, and tired. Without silence we will lose our center and become the victim of the many who constantly demand our attention.”
If you like finding jewels in your reading then I can recommend this book. I would not recommend it be the first book you read by this author though.
