In this rare, previously unpublished interview Henri Nouwen, one of the most deeply loved spiritual teachers of recent times, reflects on themes that were central to his life and thought: solitude, time, vocation, prayer, silence, hope, worship, and more.
Beloved records - in both spoken (audio CD) and written form - a treasured conversation that took place in the summer of 1992 at a retreat centre in England. The CD enables one to listen to Nouwen's distinctive voice as he speaks about such things as transforming our loneliness, escaping the tyranny of busyness, and choosing to live in ways that, moment by moment, remind us of who we are - the beloved of God.
The book shows this conversation to be studded with gems of spiritual wisdom that merit slow, contemplative reading. Including questions for reflection or discussion, this book is perfect for individual or group retreats or for personal listening and reading.

"The interview, perhaps not unlike Henri's life, moved forward with a restless yet vibrant playfulness and profundity. Reminiscence danced with fresh awakenings, ancient tradition with contemporary perspective. Henri knew his call to be a disciple of Jesus, yet also his own fragility. He delighted in the dynamic of wisdom and embodied it with a distinctively soft angularity.... It is a delight to invite you to share in the conversation between Henri and myself." - Philip Roderick (from the introduction)
