This latest offering in the popular A Retreat With... series features the writings of Henri J.M. Nouwen. Priest, theologian, psychologist, and prolific writer, Nouwen brought a unique immediacy and transformative power to his subject matter. Durback has focused on the theme of "reclaiming your humanity" for this retreat, centering most especially on Nouwen's classic "book of spiritual imperatives" as Nouwen called them, The Inner Voice of Love. This seven-day retreat will help you move toward "reclaiming your humanity in a technological age," urging you to listen to the inner voice that affirms the love that God expressed through Jesus at his baptism: "This is my beloved." The retreat is introduced by a short summary of the life and work of Henri Nouwen, and concludes with a select bibliography to help you delve more deeply into his extensive writings.
