Home Tonight by Henri J.M. Nouwen follows the path of the Catholic priest's spiritual homecoming. Prior to writing his great classic, "The Return of the Prodigal Son," Nouwen suffered a personal breakdown followed by a time of healing solitude, when he experienced profound and inspiring life lessons. Within his solitude he reflected on and identified with the parable's characters and experienced profound and inspiring life lessons. Home Tonight by Henri J.M. Nouwen is a captivating book and was created from never-before-published materials that formed the basis of the small workshop inspired by Nouwen's intimate encounter with Rembrandt's painting. Readers are led to welcome their uniqueness through practices of "spiritual listening," journaling, and communing with God, thus connecting personally with the unique, unconditional love of the One who created them. Home Tonight by Henri J.M. Nouwen is a practical guide for the inner journey home.
Henri Nouwen, who died in 1996, was one of the most significant writers on spirituality of the late twentieth century.
