Flying, Falling, Catching has descriptive copy which is not yet available from the Publisher.

A story of honesty, belonging, freedom, intimacy, risk and friendship

Spoke to my heart, Spirit and soul. Always looked forward to listening to more. A life well lived and a life I would want to aspire to live like.

Integrated with Love and Purpose

This was very well done, more than I ever expected. Details intersect a theme, but in unique stitches, and a thread that re-enters the story in new ways, drawing together a community that engaged Nouwen. I love the vulnerability and humanity that is revealed about Henri. When I see my spiritual guide as a friend with quirks and doubts, my faith is deepened. Lovely story about love.

Wonderful! Inspiring!

I love Henri Nouwen and have read many of his books. I enjoyed how the co-author of this book wrote it in a “story” format rather than a “teaching” format, allowing the words of Henri to fall as they may upon the hearts of those who listen. I enjoyed getting a glimpse into the creative, delightful, fun side of him which seems to only make the depth of his writings and teachings even more meaningful to me.

It is clear that Henri’s friendship with The Flying Rodleighs brought much joy to him in ways that perhaps many others who admired and followed him could not. What a gift they were in the final years of his life as they accepted and loved him for who he was.

This was a beautiful, uplifting book and left me feeling inspired to embrace more fully the paradoxes of life, the ups and downs, to risk letting go of what might seem so secure and fully trust the One who holds every flying and everything falling with such Love.

I highly recommend this book.

Favorite

This Beautiful work might be my favorite of Henri Nouwen. I believe it speaks to his deepest truest self and I am grateful for Carolyn Whitney Brown bringing it to life

Dragged on and on

The very few memorable lines could fill one paragraph . After listening to this I have decided there's far too many other books and authors I long to read and ponder, than to bother with the couple I had in my Wish list by Henri Nouwen. I deleted them, deleted this laborious story as well.
