\nOur Lenten Book Study Group will meet for six w eeks of Lent to explore this book by theologian Henri Nouwen.
\nThis is Henri Nouwen’s secret journal. It was written during the most difficul t period of his life\, when he suddenly lost his self-esteem\, his energy to live and work\, his sense of being loved—even his hope in God. Although he experienced excruciating anguish and despair\, he was still able to ke ep a journal in which he wrote a daily spiritual imperative to himself tha t emerged from his conversations with friends and supporters.
\nFor
more than eight years\, Nouwen felt that his journal was too raw and priva
te to share with others. Instead\, he published The Return of the Prodi
gal Son to express some of the insights gained during his mental and s
piritual crisis. But then friends asked him\, “Why keep your anguish hidde
n from the many people who have been nurtured by your writing? Wouldn’t it
be a consolation to know about the fierce inner battle that lies undernea
th your spiritual insights?”
\n
\nFor the countless men and wom
en who live through the pain of broken relationships or suffer from the lo
ss of a loved one\, this book about the inner voice of love offers new cou
rage\, new hope\, and even new life.
