LIFE OF THE BELOVED AND OUR GREATEST GIFT - Softcover

The late Henri Nouwen is one of this century's greatest spiritual writers and in one volume are included two of his most inspirational pastoral works. The Life of the Beloved asks how one can live a spiritual life in a completely secular culture. Our Greatest Gift is a meditation on dying and caring for the dying and is a classic essay on death and how to die well. This comes directly out of Nouwen's personal experience of being with the dying and asks 'How can my death become fruitful in the lives of others?' Two classics in one volume by a deep and profound thinker.

Henri J M Nouwen was one of our greatest spiritual thinkers and writers. His main work was with people with a mental handicap in the L'Arche Daybreak community in Toronto, Canada. He is the author of many books. He died in 1997.
