Overview
Ā
In this never-before-published work of inspiration, the bestselling author of The Return of the Prodigal Son offers a compelling case for why Christianity is still relevant, beautiful, intelligent, and necessary in the modern world.
At one of the lowest points in Henri Nouwenās life, he gave a series of lectures on the importance of following Jesus in an age of anxiety. Drawn from those talks, this new work reveals what sustained Nouwen to remain faithful to the teachings of Jesus and led him to become an icon of compassion and vulnerability. Here he writes eloquently about calling and purpose, fear and hope. And he explains whyāwith so many choices available to the twenty-first-century seekerāthe greatest reward for those looking for spiritual direction is rediscovering Jesusās teaching on love. Along the way, Nouwen offers warm, insightful, practical habits to help readers navigate the narrow, sometimes arduous, but ultimately fulfilling road of conviction and faith.

āFew writers have influenced me more than Henri Nouwen. These newly published lecturesĀ offer fresh and timely insights amid the familiar cadences ofĀ Nouwenās prose, written from a place of deep anxiety but even deeper hope.āāJohn Inazu, professor of political science, Washington University in St. Louis, author of Confident Pluralism
āInĀ Following Jesus, beloved pastor and spiritual mentor Henri Nouwen guides the reader on the journey he has traveled as a follower of Jesus. Without minimizing the anxieties, fears, and brokenness that touch down in every readerās story, Nouwen gently leads the way into a life that centers on Jesus and engulfs the follower with Godās love, a sense of belonging, and a purpose that endures.Ā Truly a wise and welcome word for anyone in this age of anxiety.āāCarolyn Custis James, author ofĀ Half the Church: Recapturing Godās Global Vision for WomenĀ andĀ Finding God in the Margins
