Description
Book SynopsisAt one of the lowest points in his life, Henri Nouwen gave a series of lectures on the importance of following Jesus in an age of anxiety. This new work from the archives of the Nouwen estate draws on those talks.
Trade ReviewTimeless wisdom for life from one of the great spiritual masters of our age. -- James Martin SJ
Few writers have influenced me more than Henri Nouwen. These newly published lectures offer fresh and timely insights amid the familiar cadences of Nouwen’s prose, written from a place of deep anxiety but even deeper hope. -- John Inazu, Professor of Political Science, Washington University in St. Louis, author of Confident Pluralism
For Christians interested in Nouwen, this collection of his writings will serve as a fine introduction. * Publishers Weekly *
The Return of the Prodigal Son: A beautiful book, as beautiful in the simple clarity of its wisdom as in the terrible beauty of the transformation to which it calls us. * New Oxford Review *
Discernment: For most people, the very word discernment implies something heady, private, and maybe even elitist. Henri Nouwen, as always, makes seemingly complex things personal, practical, intelligent, and very readable – all at the same time! This is a rich and helpful book. -- Richard Rohr, author of Falling Upward
Spiritual Formation: The rich lode of material in this book will appeal to individuals on a spiritual journey as well as to those who want to share their experiences of descending from the mind to the heart where all true wisdom resides. * Spirituality and Practice *
Spiritual Direction: . . . a brilliant addition to Nouwen’s canon of work as a writer and will enrich both long-time Nouwen fans and newcomers to his wisdom. * Publishers Weekly *
