Praise For…


“A fine introduction to the spiritual life.” — National Catholic Reporter

“In this quietly written call to follow the way of Christian spirituality, Nouwen emphasizes the necessity for a personal program of contemplative solitude and for the individual’s involvement in a community of like-seeking Christians.” — Booklist

Praise for Henri J. M. Nouwen: “Nouwen skillfully blends his knowledge of psychological growth with the great Christian traditions of spiritual development.” — Commonweal

“[Henri Nouwen] offers faith in plain speech, solid nourishment for the soul.” — Kathleen Norris, author of The Cloister Walk

“An invitation to the peace of mind and all-embracing love that is called the Holy Spirit.” — The Lutheran

“In this little book, Nouwen urges us the one thing necessary: a total, fearless listening to the Father.” — The Living Church

“It so clearly and beautifully lets us know where, and when, and what kind of event is the spiritual life.” — The Presbyterian Outlook
