Reviews

This is one of Nouwen's more personal books and, as such, was quite moving. It's a long letter he wrote to his father six months after the death of his mother. Written around the time of Easter, it also reflects on the meaning of the death and resurrection of Jesus. Although it is very personal, Nouwen got permission from his father to publish it in order that it might help others who are going through a period of grief after loss.
