Product Details

Product Description

From AudioFile

Robertson Dean interprets NouwenÕs vision of theology and philosophical wisdom with a clear and effortless narration. The foundation of NouwenÕs work is solitude, silence, and prayer. In a seamless narration Dean explains NouwenÕs belief that solitude develops compassion, which leads to healing. Dean narrates with full value and attention to detail when Nouwen speaks of the necessity of silence to allow God to mold our thoughts and speech. DeanÕs energy engages the listener when Nouwen relates the necessity of faithfulness in prayer, through which we develop the ability to rest in Him and become aware of His presence. With a cadence that matches his narrative pace, Dean delivers NouwenÕs life-altering meditation and encourages listeners to disengage from an increasingly hectic lifestyle and draw close to God.

Review

“In these increasingly more sound polluted and frenetic years, Henri Nouwen’s simple words about the prayer of the heart will be helpful for all who seek to turn from the complex wiles of the world to the simplicity of the love of God.”
–MADELEINE L’ENGLE

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best books I've ever read, Oct 4 2001
By Brook Boddie (Shreveport, LA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Way of the Heart (Mass Market Paperback)
This book was my first introduction to Nouwen, and if his other books are anything like this one, I believe that I've stumbled on one of the greatest Christian writers ever. This little paperback contains some of the greatest, most basic truths Christianity, silence, solitude, and prayer, and reminds us that in the practice of these simple truths that we can find the true essence of God and of our relationship to Him. Through the example of the desert fathers, Nouwen reminds us that secrets to a more fulfilling life are found not in the number of books we read, the number of extracurricular activities we participate in, or even in the number of church services we attend. True peace with God can be found in the simplicity of quietness, silent devotion, and the willingness to be still and listen for God to speak. For those who are caught up in lives that never slow down or never take time to stop and rest, this book is for them. For those who are looking for a simpler, more genuine way to practice their faith, this book is for them. And, for those who are in the midst of the valley or whose journey of faith is at a dead end, this book will provide refreshing insight and will hopefully lead the way back to fellowship with the Almighty. Wherever you are in your walk with God, this book will surely become one of your all-time favorites as it has mine.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautifully written, Jan 14 2004
Hernri J.M. Nouwen writes with a deep understanding of the Desert Fathers and thier fundamental beliefs. He illustrates how to use thier knowledge of solitude, silence and prayer in simple ways to apply to our daily lives. It is in itself a great comfort to read. For those who are trobled, in any kind of situation, the practices that he describes offers the light of hope.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Amazing Read, May 8 2009
By Tom E. Davis ""flaco"" (Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I read this book in one sitting. It was an inspiring read in the tradition of Jean Vanier and Thomas Merton, who are clearly like minded thinkers. If you want a short, concise and clear look at the art of prayer this is certainly a book for you.
