Synopsis

In this rare, previously unpublished interview Henri Nouwen, one of the most deeply loved spiritual teachers of recent times, reflects on themes that were central to his life and thought.Beloved records -- in both spoken and written form -- a treasured conversation that took place in the summer of 1992 at a retreat center in England. The CD enables one to listen to Nouwen's distinctive voice as he speaks about such things as transforming our loneliness, escaping the tyranny of busyness, and choosing to live in ways that, moment by moment, remind us of who we are -- the beloved of God.The book shows this conversation to be studded with gems of spiritual wisdom that merit slow, contemplative reading. Including questions for reflection or discussion, Beloved is perfect for individual or group retreats or for personal listening and reading. Here is a depth of wisdom to turn to again and again.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Henri Nouwen, who died in 1996, was one of the most outstanding spiritual leaders of the recent times. A priest, academic and author of over forty books, many of which remain in print, his ministry found a new depth of expression when he joined l'Arche, the residential communities founded by Jean Vanier for people with profound learning disabilities. Living and working among them, the themes he had explored in his writing and speaking took on a deeper resonance. A frequent theme in many of his writings is that we are all beloved of God and discovering this to be true for ourselves is the key to becoming fully alive and fully human, no matter what our gifts or abilities or lack of them. This book and CD package is created from an interview he gave some fifteen years ago in which he reflects on this theme and on the many practical aspects of daily life in which the realisation that we are uniquely loved makes a transformative difference. Loneliness is changed to creative solitude and solitude becomes community when we learn to see ourselves and others as beloved.
