Spiritual Direction: Henri Nouwen

Description

Spiritual Direction: Henri Nouwen
Author: Henri J. M. Nouwen

Wisdom for the Long Walk of Faith

Henri Nouwen—beloved author, priest, and internationally recognized spiritual master, counselor, and guide—offers gentle wisdom for universal questions of the spiritual life:

• Who am I?
• Where have I been and where am I going?
• Who is God for me?
• Where do I belong?
• How can I be of service?

As a priest, pastor, and professor of spirituality at Notre Dame, Yale, and Harvard, Nouwen offered spiritual direction to many students, but his famous course on spiritual direction was never recorded during his lifetime. Now, in Spiritual Direction, the first of a series, one of Nouwen’s students (Michael Christensen) and one of his editors (Rebecca Laird) have developed his courses and practice of spiritual direction into a book of profound wisdom for living a deep spiritual life.
