The Wounded Healer is brilliant, as is The Return of the Prodigal Son. Many of his books contain the same themes, which some view as a weakness. I consider it to be a good thing, in that you can really start anywhere. He had been a professor at Yale. After spending a sabbatical at a Trappist monastery, he resigned from academia and spent the rest of his life in a community of physically and mentally challenged people. His most popular and profound works spring from his life amongst them. Dirk |
