Henri Nouwen

A Restless Seeking for God
By Jurgen Beumer
240 pp., Hardcover, PhP 550
Category: Biography / Religion / Inspiration / Spirituality

Jurjen Beumer's seminal work traces the arc of Henri Nouwen's life from the beginning in Nijkerk, Holland to his final resting place on the outskirts of Toronto near Daybreak, the community of people he loved and served. In this book, the reader meets Nouwen as an always restless seeker who gradually becomes more at home with God and with himself.

The reader is exposed to a vital spirituality that can relate both to one's own life and seeking for wholeness, and to the world at large. Ordained in Holland and trained as a psychologist and a theologian, Fr. Nouwen taught at Notre Dame before becoming a professor at the Yale Divinity School from 1971 to 1981. For the next three years he taught theology at Harvard. From then until the time of his death he was the pastor of Daybreak, a L'Arche community in Toronto, a worldwide organization that provides homes for the mentally and physically handicapped.

Nouwen was a psychologist of the heart and of the soul; he wrote not only to guide others but to discover himself. Better known in the United States and Canada than in his native Netherlands, he was a public speaker, a retreat leader, and the author of 38 books, many of which were translated into several foreign languages.
