Gracias!

A Latin American Journal

iGracias! should be read after Compassion, and Compassion should be read after iGracias!. In Compassion, Nouwen theorizes about the compassionate life. In iGracias! he lives it. Stepping down from ten years as Professor of Pastoral Theology at Yale in July of 1981, Nouwen promptly embarked on a plan which had been taking shape in his mind as his academic career headed toward its climax: to work among the poor in the barrios of Lima. iGracias! chronicles his day-to-day experiences in his Third World parish. Challenging reading.
