Editorial Reviews

An instructive and gentle book. Henri Nouwen does more than tell us that solitude and community are essential for the spiritual life. His words impart a spirit that will better enable his readers to provide themselves with these seemingly contradictory necessities.

Elizabeth O'Connor

It so clearly and beautifully lets us know where, and when, and what kind of event is the spiritual life.

The Presbyterian Outlook

In this little book, Nouwen urges us the one thing necessary: a total, fearless listening to the Father.

The Living Church

An invitation to the peace of mind and all-embracing love that is called the Holy Spirit.

The Lutheran

[Henri Nouwen] offers faith in plain speech, solid nourishment for the soul.

Kathleen Norris

Praise for Henri J. M. Nouwen:“Nouwen skillfully blends his knowledge of psychological growth with the great Christian traditions of spiritual development.

Commonweal

In this quietly written call to follow the way of Christian spirituality, Nouwen emphasizes the necessity for a personal program of contemplative solitude and for the individual’s involvement in a community of like-seeking Christians.

Booklist

A fine introduction to the spiritual life.
