DESCRIPTION

Henri Nouwens compelling spirituality of the heart is at once simple and complex, accessible but deeply profound. For this Catholic theologian, whose ecumenical writings continue to inspire Christians of all denominations and levels of involvement, spirituality is, at its most basic, simply attention to the life of the spirit in us. Wil Hernandezs sensitive distillation of Nouwens vast literary legacy invites us to take courage and be still, creating space for God and our true selves. It is in this place of trust and solitude that we discover our belovedness and our capacity to love God and others. A scholar and spiritual director intimately acquainted with Nouwens understanding of the spiritual life, Wil Hernandez offers an elegant synthesis of Nouwens main themes, inspiring us to embrace the power and vulnerability of mere spirituality.
