This is a daily devotional book with a small reading for each day of the year, which is how I started out reading it. I realized after a while (and once I had gotten way behind) that Nouwen writes several themed devotionals in a row (eg the end times, baptism, the eucharist, caring for the poor), so I started reading it by theme. Many times I would stop when I got to a passage that hit me like a roadblock--requiring much reflection. I am still reflecting on some of his words and highly recommend reading this book.
