Henri Nouwen experienced an accident which abruptly pulled him out of everyday living and into the twilight between life and death. What he experienced is a love so real and so unconditional that for the rest of his life this unique experience became a pointer to the truth of who we are and what we are called to do in this world.

"The most inspiring spiritual guide of our time." —Dan Wakefield

The internationally renowned priest and author, respected professor, and beloved pastor Henri Nouwen wrote over 40 books on the spiritual life. He corresponded regularly in English, Dutch, German, French, and Spanish with hundreds of friends and reached out to thousands through his Eucharistic celebrations, lectures, and retreats. Since his death in 1996, ever-increasing numbers of readers, writers, teachers, and seekers have been guided by his literary legacy. Nouwen’s books have sold over 2 million copies and been published in over 22 languages.
