Henri J.M. Nouwen
Henri
Nouwen was a writer, Catholic priest, spiritual director,
psychologist, pastoral theologist, lecturer &
counselor all rolled into one. He gave countless lectures,
welcomed hundreds of people for counsel.
He
was never a cloistered academic. Henri believed that
God loved all -- and yet he couldn't quite put his
trust totally in God. So the gift and struggle of
his life remained intertwined -- the struggle of his
own chaotic emotional life, his insecurity and fear
generating the gift of an enormous understanding and
compassion towards every other human being.
One
of Henri's greatest achievements, and the spur behind
his writing and teaching, was to trust that the truth
of his often difficult life would help others.
Henri
Nouwen was eager to cultivate people of all kinds
-- to help them take root and grow. The celebrated
and much translated author of more than 30 books,
was a member of L'Arche Daybreak in Toronto. He taught
at Harvard, Notre Dame and Yale, and was in demand
around the world as a speaker and teacher.
