Love, Henri: Letters on the Spiritual Life
Autor Henri J. M. Nouwenen Limba Engleză Paperback – 21 sep 2017
Subliniem valoarea documentară și spirituală a acestui volum, Love, Henri, care reunește peste 200 de scrisori inedite trimise de Henri J. M. Nouwen către prieteni, studenți și enoriași. Tema centrală a lucrării gravitează în jurul convingerii autorului că o scrisoare scrisă cu dragoste are puterea de a transforma o viață, oferind cititorului acces la o latură intimă a preotului care a marcat profund peisajul religios contemporan. Ne-a atras atenția modul în care corespondența sa completează perspectiva oferită de Letters to Marc about Jesus. Dacă în acea lucrare dialogul era focalizat pe transmiterea credinței către generația tânără (nepotul său), Love, Henri extinde orizontul către o audiență vastă, abordând maturitatea spirituală în fața suferinței și a izolării.
Merită menționat că structura cărții nu este cronologică, ci tematică, reflectând pilonii gândirii sale: vocația, rugăciunea și viața în comunitate. În contextul operei sale, volumul face puntea între reflecțiile teologice din With Burning Hearts și vulnerabilitatea brută expusă în The Inner Voice of Love. Această ediție în limba engleză, publicată de John Murray Press, dezvăluie nu doar un mentor spiritual, ci un om marcat de propriile nesiguranțe, care a ales să își folosească „rănile” ca instrumente de vindecare pentru ceilalți. Spre deosebire de monografia biografică Wounded Prophet de Michael Ford, care analizează viața autorului din exterior, acest volum de corespondență îi permite lui Nouwen să își spună propria poveste prin intermediul relațiilor umane pe care le-a cultivat cu atâta grijă.

Despre autor
Henri J. M. Nouwen (1932-1996) a fost un preot catolic olandez, profesor de renume la universități de prestigiu precum Yale, Harvard și Notre Dame, și unul dintre cei mai citiți autori de literatură spirituală din lume. Deși a avut o carieră academică strălucită, Nouwen a ales să își petreacă ultimul deceniu din viață în comunitatea L'Arche Daybreak din Toronto, îngrijind persoane cu dizabilități intelectuale. Această experiență a marcat profund scrierile sale, orientându-le spre teme precum compasiunea, vulnerabilitatea și dragostea necondiționată a lui Dumnezeu, lăsând în urmă o moștenire literară de peste 40 de cărți traduse la nivel global.
Descriere
'This invaluable collection of over 200 letters by the late Nouwen (The Wounded Healer), a beloved author, pastor, and priest, provides insight into his personal struggles, insecurities, and faith and offers the heartfelt guidance Nouwen shared so generously with individuals to a wide audience ... The courage and kindness with which Nouwen shares his vulnerabilities and honest feelings, combined with his willingness to provide direction, advice, companionship, and affection, ensure that Nouwen's legacy as inspired spiritual guide will continue, enhanced by this testimony to his sincere desire to live with gratitude, faith, and love.'- Publishers Weekly'When I write I think deeply about my friends, I pray for them, I tell them my emotions and feelings. I reflect on our relationship and I dwell with them in a very personal way.' - Henri Nouwen Over the course of his life, priest, professor and writer Henri Nouwen wrote thousands of letters to friends, acquaintances, parishioners, students and readers of his work all around the world.
He held a deep conviction about the value of reaching out to others through letters, believing that a thoughtful letter written in love could truly change someone's life. As a result, many people looked to Nouwen as a long-distance spiritual advisor. This collection of previously unpublished letters stretches from the earliest years of Henri's career through to his last ten years at L'Arche Daybreak.
Rich in spiritual insights as well as touching details of Henri's daily life, the letters are organised around themes that emerge not just in his correspondence but in his writing, too: vocation and calling; solitude and prayer; suffering and perseverence; belovedness; and community. Across all these letters, what emerges most clearly is Henri's belief in the rich value of human relationships. As relevant today as they were forty years ago, and full of insight and encouragement, these letters offer a deeply personal look into the mind of a spiritual giant of the twentieth century, and are an ideal introduction to his life and thought.
Recenzii
Nouwen's profound conviction of his calling to priesthood and the centrality of prayer is evident throughout.
This invaluable collection of over 200 letters by the late Nouwen (The Wounded Healer), a beloved author, pastor, and priest, provides insight into his personal struggles, insecurities, and faith and offers the heartfelt guidance Nouwen shared so generously with individuals to a wide audience. After the introduction by inspirational speaker Brené Brown, Earnshaw, Nouwen's archivist, divides the letters into three sections: 1973-1985, when Nouwen taught at Yale and Harvard's divinity schools; 1986-1989, when he served as pastor at L'Arche Daybreak, a community north of Toronto that's home to disabled people and their assistants; and 1990-1996, during which he published 11 new books, lectured, and traveled extensively until his death. Brief introductions to each letter give context and inform the reader of Nouwen's relationship with his many correspondents, who include personal friends, colleagues, students, clergy, scholars, critics, readers of his books, grieving parents, and politicians. The courage and kindness with which Nouwen shares his vulnerabilities and honest feelings, combined with his willingness to provide direction, advice, companionship, and affection, ensure that Nouwen's legacy as inspired spiritual guide will continue, enhanced by this testimony to his sincere desire to live with gratitude, faith, and love.
This month sees the long-awaited posthumous publication of Henri Nouwen's new book Love, Henri. The Roman Catholic priest was a favourite author of Protestants and evangelicals in the '80s and '90s when his books The Return of the Prodigal Son and The Wounded Healer were huge bestsellers.
Henri Nouwen continues to be a spiritual writer who speaks to people today.
He writes with deep compassion and empathy... He had the rare gift of being able to say so much in a few carefully chosen words that came from his heart.
