Beloved: Henri Nouwen in Conversation

Henri Nouwen, one of the most deeply loved spiritual teachers of recent times, reflects on themes that were central to his life and thought in this rare, new, and previously unpublished interview. Beloved records a treasured conversation in written and spoken form. The included CD enables you to listen to Nouwens distinctive voice as he speaks about transforming loneliness, escaping the tyranny of always being too busy, the essence of prayer and choosing to live in ways that, moment by moment, remind us of who we are: the beloved of God. The conversation on these pages is studded with gems of spiritual wisdom that merit slow, contemplative reading. With suggestions for reflection or discussion, Beloved is a perfect accompaniment to an individual or group retreat as well as for personal listening and reading. Here is a depth of wisdom to turn to again and again.
