About the Authors
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.
