Welcome to Litsy!

Discernment: Reading the Signs of Daily Life features the wisdom that spiritual leader and counselor Henri J. M. Nouwen brought to the essential question asked by every Christian and seeker: What should I do with my life? Nouwen emphasizes listening to the Word of God�in our hearts, in the Bible, in the community of faith, and in the voice of the poor as a way to discern God�s plan. Although the late Henri J. M. Nouwen counseled many people during his lifetime, his principles of discernment were never collected into a single volume. Now, in association with the Nouwen Legacy Trust, Michael Christensen�one of Nouwen�s longtime students�and Rebecca Laird have taken his coursework, journals, and unpublished writings to create this and other books in the series exploring God�s will for your life.
