英文作家推介 (2) Enuma Okoro

英文作家推介（1）盧雲神父
如果你想學習寫好英文，我會推薦盧雲神父(Henri Nouwen）的著作。他的文筆符合寫作的三大要數：簡潔（Plain & Simplicity), 清晰(Clarity), 深入淺出(Depth)。 就算你的英文水平只是一般，你會發現他的著作平易近人、可讀性很高，而且不會覺得艱澀乏味。 或許你沒有基督教或天主教信仰，你會發現他的著作不是說教講規條，而是真誠地和親切地分享他對信仰，世界及人生的理解和當中的掙扎。 若果你從來沒有接觸過盧雲神父的著作，又想嘗試找他其中一本書作為閱讀的切入點，我會推介Life of the Beloved: Spiritual Living in a Secular World。這本書是盧雲神父寫給一位生活在世俗/市井的年輕人，與他分享信仰的重點，即我們每一個人也是被上主所愛。 希望你喜歡 ^____________^
