About this title

The Church Times said of Reaching Out '!wide maturity, full of insight.' The Tablet said that Nouwen was 'particularly good on the whole business of knowing ourselves.' The Church of England Newspaper said that is 'explores areas of spirituality rarely touched on in our evangelical tradition.'

From the Back Cover

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'.
