[Dutch; Flemish] - Eindelijk thuis: Gedachten bij Rembrandts 'De terugkeer van de verloren zoon'

Een toevallige confrontatie met Rembrandts schilderij De terugkeer van de verloren zoon vormde voor priester, hoogleraar en auteur Henri Nouwen het begin van een geestelijk avontuur. In het hart ervan staan dat werk en de parabel van de verloren zoon. Vanuit zijn eigen ervaringen schetst Henri Nouwen de gevoelens van de vader, de oudere zoon en de jonge zoon. Hij nodigt ons uit om Rembrandts meesterwerk, dat de parabel van de scheppende, onvoorwaardelijke en bevrijdende liefde van God op onnavolgbare wijze afbeeldt, op een nieuwe en directe manier te zien en te begrijpen. Van Eindelijk thuis werden wereldwijd meer dan een miljoen exemplaren verkocht.

Adam: God's Beloved

From the best-selling author of The Return of the Prodigal Son, essential listening for Catholics, other Christians, and all spiritual seekers In the final year before his death in 1996, Henri Nouwen wrote an account of the death of his friend Adam, a severely handicapped young man from L'Arche. In the story of Adam he found a way to describe his own understanding of the Gospel message. Adam could not speak or even move without assistance. Gripped by frequent seizures, he spent his life in obscurity. And yet, for Nouwen, he became his friend, teacher, and guide. It was Adam who led Nouwen to a new understanding of his faith and what it means to be Beloved of God. Through this story, Nouwen found a new way to tell God's story and the story of all of us human creatures, broken and yet beloved, who live in a world charged and alive with the mystery of God's love. Completed only weeks before Nouwen's own death, Adam became a final, precious gift, a fitting reflection of his own message and legacy. Available as an audiobook for the first time ever, Adam: God's Beloved, invites you to rediscover in your own life what it means to be God's Beloved. This course is part of the Learn25 collection which includes several original titles by Henri Nouwen.

Too Busy Not to Pray: Slowing Down to Be With God

“During the past few years, various friends have asked me, ‘What do you mean when you speak about the spiritual life?’ Every time this question has come up, I have wished I had a small and simple book which could offer the beginning of a response. I have felt that there was a place for a text that could be read within a few hours and could not only explain what the spiritual life is but also create a desire to live it. This feeling caused me to write Making All Things New...”
