Ukraine Diary
In 1993 and '94, Henri Nouwen made two trips to Ukraine that were deeply significant to him. With extraordinary prescience, he identified in Ukraine certain spiritual and moral qualities struggling to assert themselves—exactly the qualities, almost thirty years later, that the Ukrainian people have mobilized in their struggle for freedom and independence. Ukraine Diary is a previously unpublished work of Nouwen's that is like a time capsule, a message from the past with special meaning for today.
