Product Description

Synopsis

Can we drink this cup as Jesus did? Henri Nouwen not only raises that question but also wrestles with it on every page. With stories from his family life and his life with people with mental disabilities he challenges us to drink our cup to the bottom, thereby letting it become the cup of our salvation. For those who have the courage to make Jesus question their own, "Can You Drink the Cup?" can be life changing.

An inspiring, contemplative look at the Lord's Supper 14 Oct 1998

By A Customer

Format:Paperback

In "Can You Drink the Cup?", Nouwen walks the reader through the process of the Eucharist, focusing carefully on each step, even the ones commonly considered unimportant. Written from an incredible perspective, Nouwen sheds light on a subject that has confused Christians for years.

Excellent reading; great gift idea 24 Mar 1999

By A Customer

Format:Paperback

Nouwen's writing style flows well and is succinct. Many touching, real life examples to illustrate his thoughts about how we should live our lives to the fullest. He uses the analogy of "the cup" not just in terms of Christ, but also the cultural ceremony we have developed over socializing with friends over a drink. Very well done.
