With Open Hands

The lives of too many of us are like a tightly clenched fist---unable to give, to receive, or to reach out. Nouwen beckons us toward a better way---being open to God and to others, and being aware of our own fears and needs. With gentle simplicity and challenging insight, Nouwen invites readers to embark on a prayerful journey, confront their fears of silence, to let go of false securities, and enter the stillness of God's presence.
