Description: Follows the path of Nouwen's spiritual home-coming. More than three years prior to writing his great classic, The return of the prodigal son, Nouwen suffered a personal breakdown followed by a time of sealing solitude when he encountered Rembrandt's famous painting. He reflected on and identified with the parable's characters and experienced profound and inspiring life lessons.
