When beloved author Henri Nouwen set out to record this daybook
of totally new reflections, he suddenly found himself on "a true
spiritual adventure." For in these 366 original, interlocking
morsels of daily wisdom, Nouwen provides both sustenance and a
trail for us to follow, as he unveils, to his own surprise, his
personal map of faith. From the delicate interplay of human
experience to the surrender to Christ and the embrace of Christian
community, that journey of Christian spirituality is explored and
celebrated here in each eloquent, thought-provoking passage,
"The table is one of the most intimate places in our lives. It
is there that we give ourselves to one another. When we say, 'Take
some more, let me serve you another plate, let me pour you another
glass, don't be shy, enjoy it, ' we say a lot more than our words
express. We invite our friends to become part of our lives. We want
them to be nurtured by the same food and drink that nurture us. We
desire communion.... Every breakfast, lunch, or dinner can become a
time of growing communion with one another."
Intimately personal and inspiring, Bread for the Journey is a
daily feast of fresh insight into the challenges and deep joys of a
life lived in close communion with God. Nouwen is a wise, loving
companion who invites us along as he finds joy in the community of
loss, true freedom in forgiveness of others, and hope in surprising
places. Each daily meditation is a stepping-stone along a path of
private discovery, offering Nouwen's seasoned yet fresh ideas on
kindness, love, suffering, and prayer, the Church as God's people,
and the importance of Jesus in one's life-reflecting, as a whole,
Nouwen's own 'personal creed.' Bread for the Journey brims with
daily nourishment and guidance for devoted followers and new
friends alike -- food for thought on a yearlong journey of
discovery and faith.
