The Living Reminder: Service and Prayer in Memory of Jesus Christ, Paperback/Henri J. Nouwen

`` The Living Reminder was like a visit from a friend I needed to speak with. The surprise for me was how much I needed to hear him say familiar things.`` -- National Catholic Reporter The Living Reminder is a gift from Henry J.M. Nouwen--along with C.S. Lewis and Thomas Merton , one of the 20 th century's most beloved and important spiritual writers. Subtitled ``Service and Prayer in the Memory of Jesus Christ,`` Nouwen's book presents simple yet powerfully profound expressions of the joys of religious service, prompting the publication New Review of Books and Religion to note that we read Nouwen ``to discover new possibilities in our own faith.``
