You Are The Beloved
$20.00Add to cartSeven million copies of his books in print! Now with a new package and new cover design, this daily devotional from the bestselling author of such spiritual classics as The Return of the Prodigal Son and The Wounded Healer offers deep insights into human experience, intimacy, brokenness, and mercy.
Dutch-born Catholic priest and beloved author Henri J. Nouwen devoted much of his later ministry to emphasizing the singular concept of our identity as the Beloved of God. In an interview, he said that he believed the central moment in Jesus’s public ministry to be his baptism in the Jordan, when Jesus heard the affirmation, “You are my beloved son on whom my favor rests.” “That is the core experience of Jesus,” Nouwen writes. “He is reminded in a deep, deep way of who he is. . . . I think his whole life is continually claiming that identity in the midst of everything.”
You Are the Beloved is a daily devotional intended to empower readers to claim this truth in their own lives. Featuring the best of Nouwen’s writing from previously published works, this devotional propels the canon forward as it draws on this rich literature in new and compelling ways. It will appeal to readers already familiar with Nouwen’s work as well as new readers looking for a devotional to guide them into a deeper awareness of their identity in Jesus.

Following Jesus : Finding Purpose And Direction In Uncertain Times
$23.00Add to cartIn this brand-new, never before seen narrative, the bestselling author of The Return of the Prodigal Son offers a compelling case for why Christianity is still relevant, beautiful, intelligent and necessary in the modern world.The book is about Christian discipleship. In Henri Nouwen’s words: “It aims to help people develop a greater love for Jesus and a greater desire to follow Jesus.” It consists of two parts. Part I is about why believers might choose to follow Jesus. With so many choices available to the twenty-first century person, especially the more popular path of secularism, Henri Nouwen lays out, in his characteristically “stripped to the essential” manner, the challenge and reward of choosing the way of Jesus. Part II consists of Henri Nouwen’s suggested spiritual practices to help keep us on the “narrow road.”
