Jesus: A Gospel

Overview

Seamlessly woven from his many writings, Henri Nouwen's Jesus: A Gospel traces the greatest story ever told from the Annunciation to the Resurrection. As editor Michael O'Laughlin notes, "Henri was a teacher, a man sent from God, and his ministry was to show people what God is doing in the world and how we might respond."

In this beautiful book, illustrated with the drawings of Rembrandt, readers in the company of one of the great spiritual masters of our time rediscover the Gospel with new eyes.

Henri Nouwen, who died in 1996, was a Dutch priest and pastor of the L'Arche Daybreak Community in Toronto, Canada. He remains one of the most popular and honored spiritual writers of our time. His many books include With Burning Hearts: A Meditation on the Eucharistic Life, Gracias! A Latin American Journal, Walk with Jesus: Stations of the Cross, Peacework, Adam: God's Beloved, and The Selfless Way of Christ.
