Drawing on a series of lectures that Henri Nouwen gave, Following Jesus is a practical book that helps readers navigate the narrow, sometimes arduous, but ultimately fulfilling road of conviction and faith.
HENRI NOUWEN was a Dutch-born Catholic priest, professor, and pastor, who gained international renown as the author of over 30 books on the spiritual life. Nouwen's books have been translated into more than 30 languages and have sold upward of seven million copies worldwide, resonating with people across the religious, spiritual, cultural, and political spectrum. Since his death in 1996, ever increasing numbers of readers, writers, teachers and seekers have been guided by his literary legacy.
Timeless wisdom for life from one of the great spiritual masters of
our age.
*James Martin SJ*
Few writers have influenced me more than Henri Nouwen. These newly
published lectures offer fresh and timely insights amid the
familiar cadences of Nouwen’s prose, written from a place of deep
anxiety but even deeper hope.
*John Inazu, Professor of Political Science, Washington University
in St. Louis, author of Confident Pluralism*
For Christians interested in Nouwen, this collection of his
writings will serve as a fine introduction.
*Publishers Weekly*
The Return of the Prodigal Son: A beautiful book, as beautiful in
the simple clarity of its wisdom as in the terrible beauty of the
transformation to which it calls us.
*New Oxford Review*
Discernment: For most people, the very word discernment implies
something heady, private, and maybe even elitist. Henri Nouwen, as
always, makes seemingly complex things personal, practical,
intelligent, and very readable – all at the same time! This is a
rich and helpful book.
*Richard Rohr, author of Falling Upward*
Spiritual Formation: The rich lode of material in this book will
appeal to individuals on a spiritual journey as well as to those
who want to share their experiences of descending from the mind to
the heart where all true wisdom resides.
*Spirituality and Practice*
Spiritual Direction: . . . a brilliant addition to Nouwen’s canon
of work as a writer and will enrich both long-time Nouwen fans and
newcomers to his wisdom.
*Publishers Weekly*
