Reader recommendation: The Road to Daybreak

Monitor readers share their favorite book picks.

Like other writings by Henri Nouwen, The Road to Daybreak is touching, searching, and moves one's soul. Nouwen was sharing his struggles, weaknesses, his understanding of love so earnestly that I felt he was talking to me directly. He explains, openly and honestly, what it is like working with the handicapped, addressing their sensitivities, their love, and their freedom from pride.
