A Spirituality of Homecoming

Henri Nouwen offers a welcome message for our chaotic times: “Come home to God, and you will no longer feel like a stranger to yourself or the world.”

In this brief book, Nouwen explores several facets of Christian discipleship: Conversion, Freedom, Solidarity, Suffering, Joy, Prayer, and Service. The deep wisdom and sensitivity that shine forth in his writing encourage people to move closer to the heart of God and dwell in the knowledge of God’s love.
