    <body><![CDATA[This book is so short you can read it all within a day. However, it's packed with SO much goodness you can't possibly process everything he says within a day.  This is a book one should space out into three weeks to fully grasp the three chapters that are so eloquently written out by Nouwen.  ]]></body>
