WONDERFUL NOUWEN COLLECTION VIDEO
BEING OF PROTESTANT BACKGROUND AND A PASTIME OF STUDYING CHRISTIAN APOLOGETICS, IT IS OF INTEREST THAT I FEEL HENRI NOUWEN A CATHOLIC PRIEST, PROFESSOR AT HARVARD, YALE, NOTRE DAME AND INTERNATIONALLY FAMOUS LECTURER AND AUTHOR OF OVER 40 BOOKS MAY HAVE HAD A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF WHO WE SHOULD BE IN RELATIONSHIP WITH OUR LORD JESUS THAN ANY OTHER MODERN DAY WRITERChristian Catalyst Collection: Henri Nouwen [VHS]. THE FOLLOWING IS ONE OF THE MANY INSIGHTFUL QUOTES TAKEN FROM THE VIDEO:"Henri is asked, everyone is looking for identity, the world is offering us false identity, possession, power. Having something and being somebody. You have given up those things. Can you explain true identity?The Father told Jesus, You are my beloved, in whom I am well pleased. You are my beloved Son. That is your identity. The devil said: No, identity is fame. Turn those stones into bread, jump down off the temple, you are important when you have power, but Jesus said, no My identity has nothing to do with these things. My identity is being a child of God.Who am I? Is it what I have? What people think of me? Is it what I achieve? When I think my identity depends on these things, I am always trying to achieve, until I have things, until I am somebody. The mystery of the Gospel has to do with our identity. Our identity is to be a child of God. That is what you really are. You are my beloved son, you are my beloved daughter."An incredibly inspirational video well worth seeing.Morgan Harvill
