Synopsis

Beloved spiritual writer Henri Nouwen is our guide in this unique retelling of the gospel story. Seamlessly woven from his many writings, Jesus juxtaposes gospel texts with Nouwen s own reflections on the life of Jesus.

As Michael O Laughlin notes in his introduction, What the early church called the good news was often communicated by one person reaching out to another. . . This is what Henri Nouwen did. He was a teacher, a man sent from God, and his ministry was to show people what God is doing in the world and how we might respond. In this book, in the company of a modern spiritual master, we are invited to rediscover the gospel story with new eyes.
