Review:
"What a lovely book!"-- Anne Lamott, author of "Bird by Bird and "Traveling Mercies: Some Thoughts on Faith"I cannot tell you how much I enjoyed Ken Nerburn's "Make Me an Instrument of Your Peace. I have never realized the depth of thought in that brief prayer of St. Francis. Kent Nerburn, in a few masterful strokes and touching stories, plumbs its depths and offers us a precious little treasure."-- Joseph F. Girzone, author of "Joshua "An ennobling book. It will not only make you feel better, it might just make you a better person."-- Huston Smith, author of "The World's Religions"Kent Nerburn has written a little jewel of a book, to warm the heart and touch the soul."-- Rabbi Harold S. Kushner, author of "When Bad Things Happen to Good People"Kent Nerburn offers his mindful heart and thoughtful presence to illuminate the penetrating wisdom of Francis's sweet prayer. This book is a pearl of great price, revealing how the most potent, authentic prayer is also tender and very human. Kent Nerburn is a wise companion who has given us a blessing to be cherished again and again."-- Wayne Muller, author of "Legacy of the Heart and "How, Then, Shall We Live?"Kent Nerburn has tackled a well developed Franciscan prayer and topic with the freshness of an outside and contemporary perspective. Filled with stories from modern life in the west, it is thoroughly enjoyable as a quick, refreshing read, yet filled with spiritual gems."-- John Michael Talbot, founder of Brothers and Sisters of Charity, author of "The Lessons of St. Francis
