Its eight short chapters tease out the re-assuring message of hope – the promise of deliverance – which God communicates to his broken people in the time of their distress in exile. The book is of immense help in studying and praying in lectio divina along with Deutero Isaiah on themes such as the acute sense of loss and impotence, overwhelming grief, sin, consolation, compassion, servanthood, glory of God, deliverance and more that led the remnant of Israel closer to God. Casey shows how this message is relevant even today for we face many trials akin to being exiled in the desert bereft of comfort and consolation from which God will deliver us if we are faithful.

His search for community propelled his writing and many of his life’s most significant life choices, including his decision to leave an academic teaching position in 1986 to serve as chaplain to the L’Arche Daybreak community in Richmond Hill, Ontario. There, living alongside those with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their assistants, his understanding and commitment to community ripened and matured. And yet, surprisingly, he never wrote a complete book on the subject. Now, drawing on a number of articles as well as previously unpublished material, this book provides a picture of why Nouwen thought community was such a necessary and integral part of the spiritual life in all its many dimensions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e \n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0185\/6438\/2784\/files\/filigree-divider_18_lg_480x480.gif?v=1648062511\" style=\"margin-right: 32.5px; margin-left: 32.5px; float: none;\"\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ch1 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelated Materials\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003ca title=\"toc\" href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0185\/6438\/2784\/files\/Nouwen_Community_TOC.pdf?v=1648579822\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #2b00ff; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eClick Here For The Table Of Contents\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003ca title=\"intro\" href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0185\/6438\/2784\/files\/Nouwen_Community_Intro_Lazarus.pdf?v=1648579822\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #2b00ff; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eClick Here For The Book Introduction\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003ca title=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0185\/6438\/2784\/files\/Nouwen_Community_Chapter.pdf?v=1648579822\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #2b00ff; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eClick Here For Chapter 1\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #2b00ff; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.spiritualityandpractice.com\/book-reviews\/view\/29107\/community\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" height=\"209\" width=\"366\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0185\/6438\/2784\/files\/Add_a_subheading_2_480x480.png?v=1653325951\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Orbis Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41040731078851,"sku":"978-1-62698-439-4","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0185\/6438\/2784\/files\/Community.cover.jpg?v=1747248943"},{"product_id":"faith-and-reckoning-after-trump","title":"Faith and Reckoning After Trump","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #41658e;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e *Advance Praise \u0026amp; Reviews*\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(40, 95, 158);\"\u003e“A sharp and unflinching analysis of the theological and ethical crisis exposed during and after the Trump era.

The title may seem strange because of the many negative viewpoints that dot the book. But in fact, however, Ecclesiastes is a positive book that asks its readers to make the most of life: “because it is the only one you will ever have; don’t waste your energies on what does not matter....be mindful of the present moment and its potential” (p. xx). “Carpe diem...Make haste to seize the day and pick the fruit now because tomorrow is uncertain” (p. 128). We need to be present to the present while it is still present. To live fully each moment with undivided attention and mindfulness is the challenge; tomorrow may never come because everything is fleeting. Casey in six short chapters of this book steers us along the pathway he traces for us in lectio divina to negotiate the turns and twists in the text of Ecclesiastes and in our lives, so as to seize the blessings of the present moment (Chap. 7) and make the most of our lives.\u003cstrong\u003e \"-- Peter B.
