It's about the movements from the mind to the heart through prayer in its many forms that reunite us with God, each other, and our truest selves.' Henri Nouwen, from the introduction Henri Nouwen, beloved author, priest and spiritual guide, counseled many people during his lifetime, but his principles of spiritual formation were never written down.

Jim Forest, author of Praying with Icons and The Road to Emmaus
