My Sister, My Brother: Life Together in Christ

Beloved author Henri J. M. Nouwen discovered Christ in communion with others in the body of Christ. Here is a collection of his thoughts and reflections, taken from a variety of his writings, about how we can live out our baptismal call to live with and love others in the community of believers. With the simplicity and honesty for which Nouwen is known, he describes his many insights and experiences of living with and caring for his fellow Christians. Nouwen found that a common life where Christians support, affirm, and encourage one another brought him into a more profound awareness of Christ’s presence, both in himself and in the world. This book includes Nouwen’s thoughts on the mystery of the Eucharist, the disciplines we need to live a common life, and the strength and gifts we discover in one another. A great inspiration for all Christians seeking to live out their life in Christ with other believers.
