A unique blend of some of the earliest and some of the last published works of Henri Nouwen, one of the most popular and profound spiritual writers of the past century. Nouwen always insisted on prayer as the basis not only of our relationship with God but also an understanding of ourselves. Over the course of his life, prayer and self-understanding were transformed and refined through the crucible of Nouwen's own spiritual growth and development. For each day of Lent, this booklet offers a scripture verse, a Nouwen meditation and a concluding prayer. 5 3/8" x 8 3/8"; 32 pages; softcover.
