Description
Hardcover: 142 pages Orbis Books presents a collection of writings and talks by Henri Nouwen on the theme of community. For Nouwen, community was a constant quest, shaping many life choices, including his decision to join the L'Arche Daybreak community in Ontario. This book draws from previously unpublished material, offering insight into Nouwen's evolving understanding of community as a necessary part of spiritual life. Nouwen's own search for community informs this work, which explores the complexities and challenges of forming meaningful bonds with others. Through his writings, he reveals the importance of patience, humility, and self-examination in responding to the divine gift of community. Published to mark the 25th anniversary of Nouwen's Community, this book provides a moving picture of his spiritual teachings on the subject.
