Zusammenfassung:Publisher description: Reveals a deeper understanding of one of the world's most beloved spiritual teachers. "A sympathetic account of a life lived in search of divine love."--Publishers Weekly. Henri Nouwen, who died in 1996, was one of the most popular spiritual teachers of the twentieth century. Nouwen₂s vision, so full of light, continues to attract readers around the world. But who was he, really? What were the qualities that made him unique? How were the themes in his writings on intimacy, community, brokenness, and friendship with Jesus related to the paradoxical struggles of his own life? Michael O'Laughlin, Nouwen's friend and student, leads us to a deeper understanding of Nouwen₂s message and his place in Christian spirituality. By illuminating Nouwen's origins, psychology, approach to theology, art, prayer, Jesus, and the Eucharist, O'Laughlin gives new shape to Nouwen₂s legacy, and makes one of the spiritual giants of our time more available.
