One of my most cherished books in my library is The Life of the Beloved, by distinguished priest, author, and theologian Henri Nouwen. Reading his biography is like reading Who's Who in the field of religion. He lived his faith every day to the fullest, and he was a prolific writer. I hope you will begin reading some of his books. He has written 39 of them. Start by reading The Life of the Beloved, an easy and short read that you will surely enjoy-he will touch your heart as only Henri Nouwen can. I present this book in honor of this great and wonderful man. Please pass it forward after reading it Thank you.
