Henri Nouwen: Wounded Healer

by William Ruddle

We often think of experiencing healing from our woundedness, but rarely of experiencing healing in our woundedness. And yet it is this which can allow us to know the grace of God most powerfully. This study explores why Henri Nouwen is, perhaps, the modern writer who has done most to confront the question of woundedness. In doing so his work brings us face to face with Jesus the wounded healer and can release new depths of grace in the reader's life

Way too cerebral for this old girl, but the message is spot on.

[Stephanie Barrett · Rating 5 out of 5]

This has been one of my very favorite spiritual books. The books when Henri Nouwen was suffering
from depression. His daily entries are open, honest and vignettes that touch my soul.
His writings are as inspirational,as the great modern Mystics of today. Speaking specifically
of Thomas Merton, Joyce Rupp, Richard Rohr, ofm, Ronald Rohleiser, and a very small gem
written by Antony DeMello, SJ."The Way to Love"

Although written mainly for Christian leaders, this book provides insights for anyone dealing with the complexities of finding ones way in the world. The book is short but has ideas that will keep one thinking for days.
