<p>The title tells the story of this book. Suderman reflects on distinct "Encounters" that have shaped his life. These encounters are on the "Way." Life is an ongoing journey of learning. The encounters have "Nourished" his soul, imagination, and ministry. "Life" itself is the teacher, if only we can learn to be its students. "Encounters on the Way: Nourished by Life" is designed for grandchildren, children, family, friends, colleagues, and co-travellers on the Way. If it can be a seed of learning for some, it will have fulfilled its purpose.</p>
