This being the year of the 20th Anniversary of Henri Nouwen's death, to have the privilege of reading some of his correspondence with people, chronicled-and-shared in this new volume reminds me of one of his most favorite statements: "Lord may this be my ministry: To join others on their journey, and help them to see Jesus."

Love Henri Letters on the Spiritual Life (Audible Audio Edition) Henri JM Nouwen Douglas James Franciscan Media Books Reviews
Thanks to the vision and labor of this book's editor/creator/presenter, Henri Nouwen's life of loving, connecting, suffering, ministering is becoming for me even more life-opening than it has been in the always life-affirming messages in the books of his I've gratefully read.
Outstanding book. The author does a great job giving background info on each of Henri Nouwen's letter. Through each letter you are able to see Nouwen's heart and love for Christ. I have enjoyed this book greatly and if you are a Nouwen fan, this is a must have.
Insight into the compassionate love in action of one of our most helpful and empathetic spiritual directors.
A man unafraid to share his vulnerability and so who invites us to a whole new way living as men of God, liberated from stereotypes of masculinity by inviting us to enter into the Unconditional Love of God for us, that sees us free to be who we really are, without fear in the libeating freedom of being loved and accepted without having to wear a mask or pretend that we are someone/somewhere that is basically a false idea of perfection and masculinity.
Great selection of letters that allows the reader to follow the life of Heni Nouwen. The editor has done an excellent job of providing just enough back-ground information to identify the recipient of the letter and put it into context. The letters have an immediacy that brings Nouwen alive, and show a depth that goes beyond the books that he wrote. Highly recommended.
The first of two projected volumes, this work covers the Dutch priest and spiritual writer Henri Nouwen's adult life. It covers many aspects of his career and concerns friendship, spiritual development, social justice, racial equality, concern for those discriminated against on account of sexual orientation or gender.
Overall, a very well-edited and engaging work.
Recommended, especially for Nouwen fans (he wrote 39 books and three million copies are in circulation), who will learn a great deal from this "insider's view) of his personality and soul.
Read this as part of a ladies' book club. Beautiful and heartfelt writing. I am reader of Nouwen's writings. Although I am not Catholic, his writings are relevant to service to humanity and the poor. He addresses some of his personal pain and eventual fallout between he and another priest who he loved deeply. The forward addresses Henri's struggle with his homosexuality, although he was celibate.
I have read and enjoyed much of Nouwen's work. Love, Henri, is a very different approach to him and his spirituality and life struggles. I often skip a book' preface, foreword, and even notes of the editor. But without reading these, Love, Henri, would have been difficult to understand.
Each letter in this collection is introduced in order to put the letter in context. Without these introductions, the book would have been impossible to read.
I found that I could only read short segments; this is not a book to sit and read through. I needed time to remove myself from Nouwen's struggles and personal afflictions and take a breath or two away from the book.
All in all it was an interesting experiment in putting this collection together for Nouwen's followers.
This being the year of the 20th Anniversary of Henri Nouwen's death, to have the privilege of reading some of his correspondence with people, chronicled-and-shared in this new volume reminds me of one of his most favorite statements "Lord may this be my ministry To join others on their journey, and help them to see Jesus." The correspondence shared in this new text illustrates this again and again.
