## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Honest and helpful
  

*by P***R on Reviewed in the United States on October 31, 2014*

Henri Nouwen is a profound writer on the spiritual life. In this book he narrates through journal excerpts the transitional year between being a professor at Harvard Divinity School and being a priest and caregiver with the handicapped at Daybreak I in Toronto. Under the tutelage of Jean Vanier, Pére Thomas, and the L'Arche Community in France, he explores discernment and call, prayer and solitude, friendship and community, sexuality and chastity, ability and disability. The genesis of at least four other books he wrote—Return of the Prodigal Son, In the Name of Jesus: Reflections on Christian Leadership, Behold the Beauty of the Lord: Praying With Icons, and Adam: God's Beloved—are found in this book. Nouwen's transparency and the sharp contrasting of human weakness with the spiritual resources of the Christian faith will stir any reader to deeper reflection.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Nouwen's gift: his willingness to see and share his weaknesses
  

*by J***E on Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2012*

Nouwen spent his last ten years living with people with profound developmental disabilities at the Daybreak community in Canada.  The Road to Daybreak is his diary of the year prior to that period.  The epilogue of the book, however, is written at the end of his first year in the community.  It illustrates the great gift of this Catholic priest: his ability to confess his weaknesses openly.  He notes his despairs in joining a handicapped community and discovering the depth of his own handicaps.  He was inept at the many practical details of living as a family, having lived an academic life in which others took care of such things as laundry, cooking, and cleaning.  He was also unskilled at living intimately in community with others.  He was embarrassed to discover his need for others to give him his sense of worth.  It is healing to read someone openly clear about his despairs.

    A journey like no other!
  

*by W***. on Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2019*

What a wonderful and enlightening journey! Henri describes his darkest yet most enlightening revelations as he enters into the world of complete dependence upon Jesus, and absolute surrender to the live within the Daybreak community. As a worship leader within a special needs community I can relate to all his experiences. Thank you, Henri, for sharing!
