rwaringcrane's review against another edition
5.0
Except that he's much older then I and was a gay priest (now dead), Henri Nouwen could have been my true love. He is just so gentle, honest, and dear. He writes simply, from the heart to the heart.
I began reading this Daybook in September of 2015. Occasionally one day's entry triggered all the thinking I could handle for my morning meditation. But often I'd read a week or two at a go.
Because of Henri the words "I am the Beloved" appear over and over again in my journal. Centering on this truth daily -- because I am forgetful, easily distracted, and conditioned to believe that love must be earned -- has kept my from flying to pieces over the last few months. For this and many more bits of wisdom and encouragement I recommend this book.

iyabo's review against another edition
I love this book. I use it daily because it is a daily devotional. Nouwen is part of my formation practice. This book will be part of my daily devotion for many years.
