“Find out how much God has given you and from it take what you need; the remainder is needed by others.” – St. Augustine
Because I’ve built up a large collection of duplicate books and resources, each week I’m giving away one or more of these items, absolutely free, no strings attached. To see a list of past giveaways, go here.
I previously called this “Free Stuff Friday”, accepting entries from Friday morning to Saturday morning, but I’m now stretching out the giveaway through the whole week. You can enter anytime during the week for that week’s giveaway, with a new giveaway beginning each Friday.
This week’s giveaway is a copy of Henri Nouwen’s, The Wounded Healer. In this hope-filled and profoundly simple book, Nouwen offers a radically fresh interpretation of modern ministry. According to Nouwen, ministers are called to identify the suffering in their own hearts and make that the starting point of their service. For Nouwen, ministers must be willing to go beyond their professional, somewhat aloof role and leave themselves open as fellow human beings with the same wounds and suffering as those they serve. In other words, we heal from our wounds.
To enter to win, fill out your name and e-mail address in the form below. None of your information will ever be given out, and I will only use it to contact the winner. The winner will be selected on Saturday using a random generator, and the giveaway item(s) will be sent out, free-of-charge, shortly thereafter.
In the future, I will be giving away books, CD’s, and DVD’s, sometimes more than one item per giveaway. Check back next Friday!
(One entry per person, please. The deadline for each entry will be 11:59pm each Friday. Since I’m covering the shipping costs, only residents within the continental United States will be eligible to win.)
Update: The drawing is closed for the week beginning on Friday, 11/26. Congratulations to Christina P. for winning this week–check your e-mail for instructions on receiving the book. And check the blog for the next giveaway!
