Sinopsis

Winner of the Illumination Book Award - Gold Medal for Ministry



*Advance Praise & Reviews*
“Essays, by turns inspiring, challenging, and sometimes achingly human, on one of the most important topics of our age—by one of our age's most important spiritual masters."—James Martin, SJ, author, Learning to Pray


“Community is not a human creation but a divine gift which calls for an obedient response. This response may require much patience and humility, much listening and speaking, much confrontation and self-examination, but it should always be an obedient response to a bond which is given and not made.”—Henri J. M. Nouwen

In Community, Henri Nouwen reflects on the profound gift and challenge of living in spiritual community. Drawing on his own experiences and deep theological insight, Nouwen explores how shared life nurtures love, vulnerability, and mutual support. This classic work offers guidance for anyone seeking authentic connection—whether within family, parish, or intentional communities—inviting readers to embrace the joys, struggles, and transformative power of truly living together. With clarity, warmth, and wisdom, Nouwen illuminates the spiritual dimensions of fellowship and reminds us that we are called to journey together.

Acerca del autor

Henri Nouwen wrote and spoke often about community during his life and ministry as a pastor, priest, professor, and prolific author. His search for community propelled his writing and many of his life’s most significant life choices, including his decision to leave an academic teaching position in 1986 to serve as chaplain to the L’Arche Daybreak community in Richmond Hill, Ontario. There, living alongside those with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their assistants, his understanding and commitment to community ripened and matured. And yet, surprisingly, he never wrote a complete book on the subject. Now, drawing on a number of articles as well as previously unpublished material, this book provides a picture of why Nouwen thought community was such a necessary and integral part of the spiritual life in all its many dimensions.
