Seeds of Hope: A Henri Nouwen Reader

Durback has brought together a choice selection of passages from Nouwen's best work. In these inspiring pages, Nouwen addresses the human hunger for success, for knowledge, for peace and for love. He explores the mysteries of life and death, of prayer and compassion, of loneliness and intimacy, of God and man.

He looks at the controversial issues of our day that stand as a challenge to the soul - issues such as political oppression and the threat of nuclear holocaust - and he points the way to a triumph of the human spirit.
