How do we find a steady peace during the constant, everyday stream of affirmations and rejections we all face? How do our gifts and talents become a genuine blessing to others? Is it a failure to feel sadness and defeat? Drawing deeply upon the work of Henri Nouwen, beloved author Ronald Rolheiser offers a new book of hope and wisdom.
