This is the intimate diary of Henri Nouwen recorded from the time he left the world of academe and headed for the village of Trosly in France--a place he felt would lead him 'closer to the heart of God.' This was to be a time of inner renewal and self discovery. Here he recounts the struggles and self- doubts he faced along this rocky road to a new vocation and introduces the reader to the people of L'Arche. He made L'Arche his permanent home and ministry at the community in Toronto called Daybreak. This book invites the reader to a deeper understanding of God and the human family.
