Overview

"A beautiful compilation based on the writings of Henri Nouwen, one of the greatest spiritual teachers of our time. Nouwen spent his life helping people respond to the universal ""yearning for love, unity and communion that doesn't go away."" He probed deeply at the meaning of living a spiritual life that embraces pain and suffering in ourselves and in the world, yet nevertheless gives us freedom to love deeply wherever we are. More than a prayer book, Henri Nouwen: A Book of Hours, if followed faithfully, helps structure our daily routine with prayer; thus, not only sanctifying our relationship with God, but also sanctifying the minutes and hours of each day. It is edited and compiled by Robert Waldron."
