With Nouwen's guidance, we can reorient our lives and open the door to true spiritual transformation. Henri Nouwen, the world-renowned spiritual guide and counselor, understood the spiritual life as a journey of faith and transformation that is deepened by accountability, community, and relationships. Though he counseled many people during his lifetime, his principles of spiritual direction were never written down. Now two of his longtime students, Michael Christensen and Rebecca Laird, have taken his famous course in spiritual direction and supplemented it with his unpublished writings to create the definitive work on Nouwen's thoughts on the Christian life. Stories, readings, and thematically organized questions for reflection and guided journal writing provide an unparalleled resource for spiritual direction, both for individuals and for small groups. Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - I have read several books by Henri Nouwen and I first picked this one by chance. It has since become the prime source of inspiration for my meditation. Although written by two of Henri's disciples, the thoughts and words are his. Beautiful writing, deep thought-inspiring ideas make this book truly special. I have given it as a gift to friends who are dear to me. Rating: - Amazing Walk This book is much better than I expected - and I like Nouwen. The directions are useful and lead to a wonderful change in life. The result of begining the walk yields peace of soul. The effects of continuing the journey provides spiritual joy. I recommend this for anyone seeking happiness. Rating: - Spiritual Direction: Wisdom for the Long Walk of Faith Even though I have not entirely finished this book--it is designed to be a slow read--Henri Nouwen is a strong, gentle hand leading the way. His questions to the reader provide an opening into one's own soul and allows it to grow. He is making my "Long Walk" a most pleasant one and I am so excited and anxious to see where my walk will take me. Rating: - Awesome book This book is superb for anyone looking to deepen his or her relationship with God! P.S. Read From acknowledgements all the way through or you may miss some insight. Rating: - Wisdom for the Long Walk of Faith One of the most interesting things Nouwen affirms is that you are not going crazy if you feel driven to seek a closer relationship with God through the Holy Spirit. That was His intention. It is a bit scary to have it also affirmed that the unnerving intensity may be a lifelong thing here on earth. I especially like the reference he makes regarding present despair. Nouwen states to not think that the experience you may be struggling through is the last experience and encourages that we focus ...
