We are living in a culture that measures the value of the human person by degrees of success and productivity… Fruitfulness in the spiritual life is about love and this fruitfulness is very different from success or productivity.
Henri Nouwen is considered one of the great spiritual writers of modern times. This moving collection consists of four short essays. In The Path of Living and Dying, culled from the newly opened Henri Nouwen Archives, Nouwen discusses the effect a near death experience had on his outlook on both life and death. The Path of Power, The Path of Peace, and The Path of Waiting have been previously published by DLT and are here revised.
