*Advance Praise & Reviews*
“Essays, by turns inspiring, challenging, and sometimes achingly human, on one of the most important topics of our age—by one of our age's most important spiritual masters."—James Martin, SJ, author, Learning to Pray

“Community is not a human creation but a divine gift which calls for an obedient response. This response may require much patience and humility, much listening and speaking, much confrontation and self-examination, but it should always be an obedient response to a bond which is given and not made.”—Henri J. M. Nouwen

In Community, Henri Nouwen reflects on the profound gift and challenge of living in spiritual community. Drawing on his own experiences and deep theological insight, Nouwen explores how shared life nurtures love, vulnerability, and mutual support. This classic work offers guidance for anyone seeking authentic connection—whether within family, parish, or intentional communities—inviting readers to embrace the joys, struggles, and transformative power of truly living together. With clarity, warmth, and wisdom, Nouwen illuminates the spiritual dimensions of fellowship and reminds us that we are called to journey together.
