Through more than fifty books Henry Nouwen touchedcountless people with his compelling interpretation ofChristian faith. His immense impact came in part from his willingness to draw deeply on his own experience, inviting readers to share his own spiritual journey. That journey led him from his home in Holland to the United States froma series of prestigious academic posts to a Trappist monastery, then to live among the poor of Latin America, and finally to Canada, where he found his home at L'ArcheDaybreak, living in the community with disabled adults.
