Letters to Marc about Jesus: Living a Spiritual Life in a Material World

"[We] read Nouwen...to discover new possibilities in our faith."

--New Review of Books and Religion

A profound and beautiful collection of intimate writings, Henry J.M. Nouwen's Letters to Marc About Jesus recalls the author's correspondences with his teenage nephew, a boy struggling with issues of faith and spirituality in an apathetic age. The much-beloved author of The Wounded Healer and With Open Hands--named alongside such notables as C.S. Lewis and Thomas Merton as one of the most important Christian writers of the 20th century--Nouwen writes from the heart in the deeply personal Letters to Marc About Jesus, as he imparts a powerful wisdom born of an unassailable faith.
