Following Jesus
Summary of Following Jesus
Timeless wisdom for life from one of the great spiritual masters of our age.
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.
For Christians interested in Nouwen, this collection of his writings will serve as a fine introduction.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Nouwen's lectures explain why, with so many choices available to twenty-first-century seekers, the greatest reward for those looking for spiritual direction is rediscovering Jesus’ teaching on love.
Following Jesus includes a forward by bestselling authors Richard Rohr.
