Compassion. Leadership. And Fiction.
Current Readings
Compassion by Henri Nouwen, Donald P Mcneill, and Douglas A Morrison
Strengthening the Soul of Your Leadership
by Ruth Haley Barton.
Picking up these two books has been renewing, transforming, and a gentle challenge.
Two themes of yearning in my life for growth and greater awareness that I was really struggling with and praying into. Through these readings, I have found clarity, gracefulness, and deepening of trust in my calling and journey in faith.
If you are just curious, or struggling with leading, or burnout, I highly recommend both of these sources for refreshment and encouragement. To stay with the work God is faithfully doing in your life and calling (we all have a unique work).
