Reaching Out: The Three Movements of the Spiritual Life by Henri J.M. Nouwen

5.0

I hardly have adequate words to describe this book, but it’s a beautiful tribute to the spiritual disciplines of solitude, hospitality, and prayer. Nouwen always delivers a humble, rich, love-soaked perspective that I appreciate every time. He describes in the third part the benefit of finding a few “really great saints” whose words encourage us, and Nouwen himself has definitely become one of those voices in my spiritual life.
