Henri Nouwen: A Restless Seeking For God

by Jurjen Beumer (Crossroad, 1997, p.190)

Originally published in Dutch, Beumer offers the first biography to appear following Nouwen's sudden death. A personal friend of Henri's, Beumer enjoyed the full cooperation of Nouwen's family in having access to childhood stories, photos and other personal memories that will be of interest of Nouwen readers.

He is careful to point out, nevertheless, that Nouwen himself was not involved with the shape of the book, nor with the text or the contents. Readers will find here a reliable initial portrait as well as an informed guide to the writings of a spiritual master whose influence will undoubtedly determine the shape of spirituality and ministry for generations to come.
