Publisher Description

This book is my secret journal, Nouwen wrote. At first he had no intention of sharing this personal diary of the difficult months when he felt all meaning in his life was missing and all ahead seemed a dark, bottomless abyss. In spite of his inner turmoil, Nouwen recorded the descent into his heart in these 63 journal entries. Friends persuaded him that sharing his painful soul-searching might help others who also struggle to embrace life with joy.

Throughout his life, Nouwen longed for deeper relationships with others and with God. Do not hesitate to love and to love deeply, he urges. While your heart may break, he says, you will then have a choice - to become bitter or to stand in your pain and become fruitful with God as the spiritual guide of your life. The inner voice is a voice of love.

"What a comfort to read the journal of a great man of faith and see that he walked through the dark night of the soul. It was as though I was reading my own journal only with more wisdom enfused between the aching and questions. Read this to better know your God, yourself, and your friends. "

    " Henri Nouwen is one of my favorite authors. I resonate quite a bit with his introspective nature and keen awareness that this world is not our home. I enjoy his thoughts about solitude, community, dependence, and a variety of other relationship dynamics. "

    " A lot of deep insights into the author, which in turn, reveal a lot of insights about myself. This book moved me in many ways and I plan to re-read it a number of times. "

    " Really hard book and takes time to read through each chapter. These seem to be some very raw thoughts from Nouwen in some dark times "

    " Found this book among many on my mom's bookshelf after she died. Thank God she underlined her favorite passages, I felt like I was having a conversation with her about her trials as I read Henri Nouwen's words about his own difficult journey. "

About Henri J. M. Nouwen

Henri Nouwen (1932–1996) was ordained a Catholic priest in 1957. He obtained his doctorandus in psychology from Nijmegen University in the Netherlands and taught at Notre Dame, Yale, and Harvard. He experienced the monastic life with Trappist monks at the Abbey of the Genesee, lived among the poor in Latin America with the Maryknoll missioners, and was interested and active in numerous causes related to social justice. After a lifetime of seeking, he finally found his home in Canada as pastor of L’Arche Daybreak where people with intellectual disabilities and their caregivers live together in community. He wrote more than forty books on spirituality and the spiritual life that have sold millions of copies. His vision of spirituality was broad and inclusive, and his compassion embraced all of humankind.
