Resumen del Editor

From the best-selling author of The Return of the Prodigal Son, essential listening for Christians, Catholics, and all spiritual seekers.

We lead our spiritual lives in relationship with others. A faithful community gives us opportunities to worship, share burdens, offer forgiveness, and celebrate life. Wherever he went, Henri Nouwen created such communities, and within them, he offered spiritual direction.

Available as an audiobook for the first time ever, Spiritual Direction: Wisdom for the Long Walk of Faith is part of the Nouwen Trilogy. These convenient audio sessions let you adopt Nouwen as your personal spiritual director. As you listen, you will come to see the spiritual life as he did: a transformative journey that takes on meaning through interpersonal connections.

Each session was carefully prepared by Dr. Michael Christensen, an award-winning professor of Christian ministry and practice, and Dr. Rebecca Laird, who was Nouwen’s student at Yale Divinity School. Each volume of the Nouwen Trilogy collects Nouwen’s unpublished homilies, interviews, classes, and speeches, as well as excerpts from his published writings. Editing these works into a cohesive and definitive guide to the Christian life, Drs. Christensen and Laird memorialize his popular teachings.

With Nouwen’s guidance, you hold the key to true and lasting spiritual transformation.

This course is part of the Learn25 collection.

Spirit of Direction

This feels a bit dated. Perhaps it’s where I’m at in my spiritual journey. I love and appreciate Henry

A Course I Am Happy to Recommend

A blessing & challenge this book has been. I’m being led into Spiritual Direction and as I did the “Going Deeper” section of each chapter, I know I was in good hands being led by The Lord’s Spirit. Thank you Henri.

Spiritual lives need direction

For those committed to serving God, this not only tells how to receive or give spiritual direction but also tells the importance of being present with God through spiritual guidance. Excellent.

Don't hesitate- great book

Amazing book! So much insight I will listen to it again! Have a box of tissues ready when the Lord taps you on the shoulder.

Wonderful intro to spiritual direction

This audio is a wonderful introduction to spiritual direction, and to getting to know Henry Nouwen, in a very personal way. Solid advice is deepened with Henry’s very down to earth insights into the spiritual life.

You just can’t read it once

This book is packed with practical spiritual insight and meaningful advice. It is a must read for Spiritual Directors and anyone who wants a deeper spiritual walk with God

Henri and His Wisdom Echoes Here

I loved the stories and the vulnerability he shared. Even late in life he didn’t have all the answers but in a way that is the answer. Continue the work and become the lion in the marble.

Relevant for the Modern World

Nouwen is a really great teacher. He writes beautifully about profound ideas, but never gets lost in the clouds. I highly recommend this book if you want actionable advice that will help improve your relationship with God in everyday life. The narrator (Colborne) does a nice job, and strikes the right tone and pace. 5 stars.

Very enjoyable and helpful

I am so grateful that I came across Henri Nouwen and found this book. Show much of it really added to where I am in my spiritual journey right now, and showed me ways to go forward.

Great guide to divine God's Will

I found the insights and experience shared here will be a challenging, exciting, and rewarding exercise to truly find my vocation.
