A Sorrow Shared: A Combined Edition of the Nouwen Classics "In Memoriam" and "A Letter of Consolation"
"Since I first read both of these books while my own parents were still alive, I read them as messages in bottles, sent from an island I knew I would one day visit but that I hoped to stay away from as long as possible. Thirty years later I am sitting on the beach with both messages in my lap. The good news is that they are true, which means that they are also deeply consoling--even for those whose love is not this pure, whose faith is not this real--for Nouwen is right that we find comfort where our wounds hurt most, and he has never been afraid to meet us there." --Barbara Brown Taylor, Author ofAn Altar in the World"On the long road it's good to have Nouwen and his divining rod. Deftly he bends toward the drop of spiritual wisdom caked in the most ordinary things." -- --Sister Helen Prejean, C.S.J., Author ofDead Man Walking
