(This is a compilation by another author, but the writing is all Nouwin.) This is my first reading of anything he's done. I've had it in my mind to read something by Nouwin for quite some time now, but other things kept getting in the way. This is a book you have to meditate on. I read this through quickly as I do everything I read. If I believe a book has something to say to me, I read it again, more slowly and thoughtfully. I am now reading this in small sections, savoring it. This is a book I'll keep on my nightstand for a very long time and go back to it again and again. It will be a "friend" for life. I look forward to reading all of Nouwin.For those of you who would like scholarly comparisons, I'm sorry. I don't have enough experience with this author or with Nouwin to do that. I can only tell you that I'm happy to have this book. I recommend it to all. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Only Necessary Thing: Living a Prayerful Life *by J***H on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 23, 2008* What an incredible, intimate, and loving writer. Prayers, as the book highlighted, lead us not to dwell on self-pity and struggles of life, but to a new dwelling place, God's Heart, where all wounds can be healed and hopes for the brokenhearted. Your new name is God's Beloved, not Failure, not I Can't; even when our heart and strength fail, this book will lift us up to the unconditional love of God and the power given by Him to live a meaningful and peaceful life! There is so much more to be explored and experienced with the power of God in life. Henri Nouwen lived his life well and has left us a wonderful legacy of how to depend on God and not be afraid to pray for everything. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The One Needful Thing... *by S***G on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 27, 2008* Be attentive to GodAll I will add to the list of glowing reviews is to say that I typically don't enjoy books that are a compilation of selected writings from other books. So if you're like me in that regard, I will say that it shouldn't discourage you from reading this book. The passages selected are excellent and flow together nicely. The Only Necessary Thing reads like it was written all at once and has become one of my favorite Henri Nouwen books. The book is full of foundational life-changing-truths that will speak to you whether you are just beginning to pray or if you have been living a prayerful life for many years.
