The Wounded Healer is a hope-filled and profoundly simple book that speaks directly to those men and women who want to be of service in their church or community, but have found the traditional ways often threatening and ineffective. In this book, Henri Nouwen combines creative case studies of ministry with stories from diverse cultures and religious traditions in preparing a new model for ministry. Weaving keen cultural analysis with his psychological and religious insights, Nouwen has come up with a balanced and creative theology of service that begins with the realization of fundamental woundedness in human nature. Emphasizing that which is in humanity common to both minister and believer, this woundedness can serve as a source of strength and healing when counseling others. Nouwen proceeds to develop his approach to ministry with an analysis of sufferings -- a suffering world, a suffering generation, a suffering person, and a suffering minister. It is his contention that ministers are called to recognize the sufferings of their time in their own hearts and make that recognition the starting point of their service. For Nouwen, ministers must be willing to go beyond their professional role and leave themselves open as fellow human beings with the same wounds and suffering -- in the image of Christ. In other words, we heal from our own wounds. Filled with examples from everyday experience, The Wounded Healer is a thoughtful and insightful guide that will be welcomed by anyone engaged in the service of others.

Works great on Tooth Fairy Money
Color: purple, Color: purple
I bought this to spray money from the tooth fairy as a bit of magic fair dust. It takes a bit of time to dry and a bit does come off once dry but the pure excitement from my daughter is totally worth it! It's easy to apply and washes off my hands easily so I don't get caught. I love the bright purple color and it doesn't have that hairspray smell to it either.

Great glitter spray
Color: purple
This spray was exactly what I wanted. Not sticky at all and gave a really pretty sparkle to my skin and hair. The scent is a bit strong for me but not unpleasant and dissipated quickly. The only issue I had was the bottle clogged up within seconds after the first use, hence the 4 stars instead of 5.

Color: purple
tiny sparkles, makes a nice purple "glow" to the complexion. pump it hard so it atomizes good and warn anyone behind you. it appears to be designed to cover a fair amount of real estate , not for detail work.

Great coverage
Color: purple
I had the aerosol spray version of this and did not like it. Especially after I used it the second time and it stuck down spraying the entire container out. This one is so much easier to control and gives a lot nicer coverage. Pretty glitter for my daughter's hair and the smell is not overwhelming. Definitely recommend this.
