?These contemporary prayers speak powerfully of one man?s search for a closer relationship with the God: Yet his struggles and trials are familiar to all who seek God. Father Nouwen?s prayers easily become our own.??Spiritual Book News

?Reminiscent of some of the meditations and prayers of Thomas à Kempis in Imitation of Christ. Very personal, mystical, and yet intensely

practical intercessions. A useful tool for personal reflection and meditation.? ?The Banner -- Review

5.0 out of 5 stars Humanity's prayers, October 25, 2000
By Rev. Donna Morley "fumol" (West Mansfield,, OH USA) - See all my reviews
Henri prays a human's prayer. He says what we all say in times of change, fear, anger, yet he says more! What a wonderful book to read when life/stability/comfort are turned upside down and pain, loss, homesickness, fear etc. are flooding over you and sweeping you away into darkness and chaos. This is a man's (Henri's) cry from his heart, soul, and mind. An incredible spiritual expression of the human condition.
