Henri Nouwen: His Life and Vision

Through more than fifty books Henri Nouwen touched countless people with his compelling interpretation of Christian faith. Nouwen's life was itself a spiritual text that reflected the very themes he shared in his writings: the struggle between intimacy, community and solitude; the gospel challenge to follow Christ in "downward mobility"; the question of how to make our life and death a gift to others; discovering the face of Christ in the world; and realizing our own identity as God's beloved.

Richly illustrated with 140 photos - including many never before published - this book provides a many-faceted portrait of one of the most beloved spiritual writers of our time.
