A Retreat With Henri Nouwen: Reclaiming Our Humanity

Compiled by Robert Durback, (St. Anthony Messenger Press, 2003, p.122. Darton, Longman, Todd, London)

Focusing on the theme of "Reclaiming Our Humanity," Durback surveys the challenges to our human development when our lives are governed increasingly by digital data spewed from computers, the media and modern advertising. Drawing especially from Nouwen's best selling Life of the Beloved, the editor leads us on a journey from Fear, which dehumanizes us, to accepting and celebrating the Gospel proclamation of God's unconditional love. By listening attentively to the voice that calls us Beloved, we discover our worth as human beings and lay claim to it in every detail of our lives: in the work place, in the market place, and above all in our homes.
