In this treasure of a book, Henri Nouwen presents powerful visions of leadership. 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 many of the current perceptions of how to lead as he takes the reader back to the lessons of Scripture and the lived example of Jesus. Thought-provoking and stimulating, this is a book for anyone already involved in leadership, and for all those who may be called to it. It will become sources of inspiration and renewal.

Henri Nouwen reminds us throughout this book of the power and intimacy of God's love for each one of us.
