CAN YOU DRINK
THE CUP?
This question—one that Jesus asked his friends James and
the power to crack open the hardened heart and lay
bare the tendons Of the spiritual life," explains world•renowned
spiritual writer Henri Nouwen.
Using the cup as a metaphor. Nouwen renects On three
images—Holding, Lifting. and Drinking—to articulate basics Of
the spiritual life. Writing with the insight and clarity that has
characterized his numerous best-selling books, Nouwen draws
stories from his own life and ministry to illustrate his main
themes.
The cup, a powerful image in the human experience, a
symbol used to celebrate a wide range Of human endeavors,
becomes for Nouwen a doorway opening on the spiritual horizon.
"Drinking our cup to the bottom is seen as the expression Of the
full freedom Of the sons and daughters Of God," he writes. His
goal is to make the questionJesus posed pierce our hearts so that
a personal answer Can emerge from it.
In this short introduction to the spiritual life, Can You
Drink the Cup? becomes a question "'hose answer can radicall
change our lives.
