After the introduction by inspirational speaker Brené  Brown, Earnshaw, Nouwen's archivist, divides the letters into three  sections: 1973-1985, when Nouwen taught at Yale and Harvard's divinity  schools; 1986-1989, when he served as pastor at L'Arche Daybreak, a  community north of Toronto that's home to disabled people and their  assistants; and 1990-1996, during which he published 11 new books,  lectured, and traveled extensively until his death. Brief introductions  to each letter give context and inform the reader of Nouwen's  relationship with his many correspondents, who include personal friends,  colleagues, students, clergy, scholars, critics, readers of his books,  grieving parents, and politicians. The courage and kindness with which  Nouwen shares his vulnerabilities and honest feelings, combined with his  willingness to provide direction, advice, companionship, and affection,  ensure that Nouwen's legacy as inspired spiritual guide will continue,  enhanced by this testimony to his sincere desire to live with gratitude,  faith, and love. * Publishers Weekly (starred review) *\u003cbr\u003eThis month sees the long-awaited posthumous publication of Henri Nouwen's new book Love, Henri.
