Henri Nouwen (1932-1996) is, along with Thomas Merton, one of the
most enduringly popular spiritual writers of the twentieth century
- and, like Merton's, his popularity has continued to grow in the
years since his death. He was a Dutch Catholic priest and
theologian who abandoned a stellar academic career teaching at
Harvard and Yale to spend his life living in a community of
mentally handicapped people in Toronto. Beset by personal demons
and intense suffering of his own, he made his life and struggles an
open book, inviting his readers to find happiness in the midst of
their own brokenness and pain and showing them how to do it. His
books have also been well liked by non-Christians. This compact
collection brings together all of Henri Nouwen's principal ideas
and themes into an attractive gift-worthy volume. It's a perfect
introduction to his teaching and a great source of inspiration for
anyone. Praise for Henri Nouwen: 'One of the world's great
spiritual writers, Nouwen left behind a wealth of insights that
have brought encouragement and have ministered to thousands' -
"Christianity Today". 'For all who read his books, Henri Nouwen was
a prophet and monastic, saint and mystic. In his compassionate
identification with the many outcasts labelled 'disabled', we may
gain insight into discerning what is truly vital for us all' -
"Atlanta Journal and Constitution".
