Synopsis

Henri Nouwen, who died in 1996, was one of the most significant writers on spirituality of the late twentieth century. Reaching Out combines two of his most popular books in one volume.

With a personal appreciation by the ever popular Father Gerard Hughes, this special edition will be treasured by the many admirers of Henri Nouwen. The main part of the book is Reaching Out which answers the question ‘What does it mean to live a life in the Spirit of Jesus Christ?’ The second part is Glimpse Beyond the Mirror which is a very personal account of two author’s own personal spiritual life. Together they make a fitting tribute to a remarkable man.

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Henri J. M. Nouwen was born in the Netherlands where he was ordained to the priesthood. After two decades as an academic he spent the latter part of his life with people with mental handicaps at the L’Arche community of Daybreak in Toronto, Canada.

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

This classic work of spirituality is a response to the question: 'What does it mean to live life in the Spirit of Jesus Christ?

Nouwen finds it to be a lonely business, as Dante also found when he said: 'In the middle of the way of our life I find myself in a dark wood'. However we can and must reach out to our fellow human beings and to God.

'The plan and concept of this book are excellent. Fr Nouwen is particularly good on the whole business of getting to know ourselves…he says it well and with considerable insight'.
THE TABLET

'It is quiet and impressive, giving an impression of wise maturity. At the same time it is full of insight into contemporary situations, the work of a man who has an intimate knowledge of people'.
CHURCH TIMES

'There are great riches for us to find here, as Nouwen explores areas of spirituality rarely touched on in our own evangelical tradition'.
