Title: Nice Biographical Sketch, Nuggets of Wisdom
Product review: While I would say that this book is well-done overall, I really believe that the first section (inappropriately titled "introduction") is the best part. Jonas does a very nice job sketching out the life and story of Henri Nouwen, who he knew personally - lending a familiar touch to the work. What remains, making up about half the book, are snippets of wisdom collected from Nouwen's corpus. They are good, but I found that they are often taken out of context and are better left to be read in their entirety.By way of initial introduction, this is a nice start for someone interested in learning about Henri Nouwen, but does not know where to start.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
