About this product

Product Information

With the clarity and depth characteristic of the classics, this spiritual bestseller lays out a perceptive and insightful plan for living a spiritual life and achieving the ultimate goal of that life -- union with God. Nouwen views our spiritual "ascent" as evolving in three movements. The first, from loneliness to solitude, focuses on the spiritual life as it relates to the experience of our own selves. The second, from hostility to hospitality, deals with our spiritual life as a life for others. The final movement, from illusion to prayer, offers penetrating thoughts on the most mysterious relationship of all- our relationship to God. Throughout, Nouwen emphasizes that the more we understand (and not simply deny) our inner struggles, the more fully we will be able to embrace a prayerful and genuine life that is also open to others' needs. Reaching Out is a rich book to be read, reread, pondered, and shared with others. "It does not offers answers or solutions," Nouwen cautions, "but is written in the conviction that the quest for an authentic Christian spirituality is worth the effort and the pain, since in the midst of this quest we can find signs offering hope, courage, and confidence."

  • Universal Reflections of a Gentle Priest

    When I discovered this book as the focal point of a workshop retreat at a Quaker center, I decided to see what it contained. I had also run into Nouwen's work in a Lenten daily reader that showed uncommon beauty and insights. So when I opened this book, I immediately found much useful inspiration in Nouwen's three-part approach to gain clarity in solitude (instead of loneliness), hospitality (instead of hostility) and approaches to a relationship with the Divine. The universality of Nouwen's writings regularly leads me to forget that he is in fact a priest. This book is a wonder, and is lovely to visit in small bits as a daily reader as well.

  • Reaching Out

    This book was very deep. I loved reading it. Since the class is over, I will get the book out during my break and reread it again. Thanks for sending it
