Authentic Healing

Henri J.M. Nouwen invites us to see the world through God's eyes. He sees God's compassion and God's anger in how we, especially religious people, use power to exclude or hurt other people. But even in Jesus' life, he sees the divine powerlessness which leads to authentic healing of souls and hearts that worldly power cannot accomplish.

The internationally renowned priest and author, respected professor and beloved pastor Henri Nouwen wrote over 40 books on the spiritual life. He corresponded regularly in English, Dutch, German, French, and Spanish with hundreds of friends and reached out to thousands through his Eucharistic celebrations, lectures, and retreats. Since his death in 1996, ever-increasing numbers of readers, writers, teachers, and seekers have been guided by his literary legacy. Nouwen’s books have sold over 2 million copies and been published in over 22 languages.
