Paperback. Condition: Good. Beloved author Henri Nouwen often expressed his belief that what is most personal is also most universal, and he was not afraid to draw on his own life experiences so he could help others. Six months after the death of his mother, during a stay at the Trappist Abbey of the Genesee, Nouwen explored his own grief at her passing. He expressed his thoughts about the spiritual significance of death and life in a letter to his father, which ultimately became A Letter of Consolation. Nouwen dedicated this book to "all those who suffer the pain that death can bring and who search for new life." Henri J. M. Nouwen (1932-1996) was the author of With Open Hands, Reaching Out, The Wounded Healer, Making All Things New, and many other bestsellers. He was the senior pastor of L'Arche Daybreak in Toronto, Canada, a community where men and women with mental disabilities and their assistants create a home for one another."What Nouwen has come to realize is that a battle against death is a natural Christian rejection, like Jesus's in the garden, of the cruel absurdity of being cut off from life. Only the promise of the Resurrection, the unimpeachable guarantee that love is stronger than death, can make that separation tolerable, even graceful."- America.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. With the clarity and depth characteristic of the classics, this spiritual bestseller lays out a perceptive and insightful plan for living a spiritual life and achieving the ultimate goal of that life -- union with God. Nouwen views our spiritual "ascent" as evolving in three movements. The first, from loneliness to solitude, focuses on the spiritual life as it relates to the experience of our own selves. The second, from hostility to hospitality, deals with our spiritual life as a life for others. The final movement, from illusion to prayer, offers penetrating thoughts on the most mysterious relationship of all: our relationship to God. Throughout, Nouwen emphasizes that the more we understand (and not simply deny) our inner struggles, the more fully we will be able to embrace a prayerful and genuine life that is also open to others' needs. Reaching Out is a rich book to be read, reread, pondered, and shared with others. "It does not offers answers or solutions," Nouwen cautions, "but is written in the conviction that the quest for an authentic Christian spirituality is worth the effort and the pain, since in the midst of this quest we can find signs offering hope, courage, and confidence.".…
