  1. Henri Nouwen | Henri's Bookshelf | Discernment

    NOV 5

    Henri Nouwen | Henri's Bookshelf | Discernment

    In the beautiful compilation, Discernment: Reading the Signs of Daily Life, Henri Nouwen invites us to learn to listen deeply to the voice of the Spirit. Encouraging us to encounter this voice through books, nature, people and events, Nouwen reminds us that God is ever present. In this episode of Henri's bookshelf, we speak with Sam Cooper, a pastor who has accompanied a local community of faith for 31 years and counting. Through stories of listening and obeying, Sam and Wendy celebrate a long journey of discernment that has led a community to learn to participate with God in making things right. **PLEASE NOTE: Due to technical difficulties audio may be hard to hear in spots.

  2. Henri Nouwen | Henri's Bookshelf | Flying, Falling, Catching: An Unlikely Story of Finding Freedom

    OCT 20

    Henri Nouwen | Henri's Bookshelf | Flying, Falling, Catching: An Unlikely Story of Finding Freedom

    The last manuscript of Henri J.M. Nouwen, left unfinished at his sudden death in 1996, recounts his transformative friendship with a traveling trapeze troupe, the Flying Rodleighs. Nouwen thought his trapeze story could become his most important book. Author Carolyn Whitney-Brown, Henri's colleague and friend, was invited to take the unpublished material and offer it to readers as the final metaphor to have captivated Henri Nouwen's spiritual imagination. Readers will discover Henri to be a spiritual risk-taker always pursuing deeper communion with God. And somewhere in the flying and catching and even falling, Henri found access to a more embodied and liberating life. Carolyn Whitney-Brown is a Canadian writer, artist, and university teacher who earned a PhD in English literature. She knew Henri Nouwen well when she and her family lived in the L'Arche Daybreak community from 1990 until Nouwen's death in 1996. She lives on Vancouver Island. https://writersunion.ca/member/Carolyn-Whitney-Brown ___________ Book Discussed: Flying, Falling, Catching: An Unlikely Story of Finding Freedom https://amzn.to/3UUPJ9c (US) https://amzn.to/3RuZszU (Canada) ___________ SUPPORT THIS PODCAST: henrinouwen.org/donate/ * SIGN UP FOR FREE DAILY E-MEDITATIONS: henrinouwen.org/meditation/ * MORE FREE RESOURCES: henrinouwen.org/ * FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA: INSTAGRAM: www.instagram.com/henrinouwensociety/ TWITTER: twitter.com/nouwensociety FACEBOOK: www.facebook.com/nouwensociety/ PINTEREST: www.pinterest.ca/henrinouwen/

  3. Henri Nouwen | Henri's Bookshelf | Following Jesus: Finding Our Way Home in an Age of Anxiety

    OCT 9

    Henri Nouwen | Henri's Bookshelf | Following Jesus: Finding Our Way Home in an Age of Anxiety

    Henri Nouwen gave a series of lectures on the importance of following Jesus in an age of anxiety which became the basis for this book. Following Jesus explores calling and purpose, fear and hope, and why, when the twenty-first-century seeker has so many choices, including atheism and secularism, the greatest reward for those looking for fulfillment is to choose to embrace the truth of God’s love. Henri Nouwen offers warm, insightful, and practical spiritual habits to help readers navigate the oft-less- travelled, but ultimately life-giving road of faith in and through following Jesus. Our Guest: Robert A. Jonas, Ed.D. (Harvard University), M.T.S. (Weston Jesuit School of Theology) was a dear friend of Henri Nouwen and is the author of The Essential Henri Nouwen, (Shambhala Publications) and Henri Nouwen (Orbis). His most recent book is, My Dear Far-Nearness: The Holy Trinity as Spiritual Practice (2022 Orbis). Trained as a psychotherapist, Dr. Jonas is an author, father and grandfather, video artist, musician, environmental steward, and retreat leader. Dr. Jonas is the director of The Empty Bell, a contemplative sanctuary in Northampton, MA whose website is an extraordinary resource for contemplative Christians and for Buddhist-Christian dialogue. https://www.emptybell.org/ ___________ Book Discussed: Following Jesus: Finding Our Way Home in an Age of Anxiety https://amzn.to/3frmy7R (US) https://amzn.to/3cWRWta (Canada) ___________ SUPPORT THIS PODCAST: henrinouwen.org/donate/ * SIGN UP FOR FREE DAILY E-MEDITATIONS: henrinouwen.org/meditation/ * MORE FREE RESOURCES: henrinouwen.org/ * FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA: INSTAGRAM: www.instagram.com/henrinouwensociety/ TWITTER: twitter.com/nouwensociety FACEBOOK: www.facebook.com/nouwensociety/ PINTEREST: www.pinterest.ca/henrinouwen/
