Reaching out

Fülszöveg

'This is a most encouraging book, which lets the Spirit of God hover over our chaos, bringing light to our darkness, life to our deadness, and assuring us that nothing, no individual, no state of affairs, can ever be hopeless.' Gerard Hughes in the foreword
In this classic work of spirituality from one of the most well-loved writers of our time, Henri J. M. Nouwen responds to the question, 'What does it mean to live a life in the Spirit of Jesus Christ?'
Explored are the three movements of the spiritual life: reaching out to our innermost self from mere loneliness to creative solitude, reaching out to our fellow human beings from arid independence to self-giving and finally reaching out to God who 'calls us from the darkness of our illusions into the light of his glory.'
In Beyond the Mirror Henri Nouwen relives the serious accident which, having brought him face to face with death, eventually led to a deepening of his spiritual understanding of life and God's love.
