Product Review
Bread for the Journey: A Daybook of Wisdom and Faith is a devotional containing meditations for every day of the year. Henry Nouwen begins the book by honing in on everyday experiences and objects. His reflection on the spiritual significance of mealtime, for instance, renders breakfast a revelatory hour: The table is one of the most intimate places in our lives. It is there that we give ourselves to one another. When we say, "Take some more, let me serve you another plate, let me pour you another glass," we say a lot more than our words express. We invite our friends to become part of our lives. We want them to be nurtured by the same food and drink that nurture us. We desire communion. As the year progresses, Nouwen's focus shifts to the person of Jesus, the nature of the Church, and, finally, to the eternal life that is facilitated, in part, by books of wisdom like this one. --Michael Joseph Gross
Product Review
"Henri Nouwen shares personal moments, teaching moments, sacramental moments-moments of delight and surprise for anyone who cares to commune with him-and the One to whom he points each day of this journey. What a gift for us all! Bread for the Journey nourishes the soul." -- Fred Rogers, host and creator of Mr. Roger's Neighborhood
"How graced we are to have Henri Nouwen's bread to break at the beginning of each day. He has combined the flour, water, and yeast of his heart to provide us with loaves of wisdom to nourish us." -- Christopher de Vinck, author of Simple Wonders
"On the long road it's good to have Nouwen and his divining rod. Deftly he bends toward the drop of spiritual wisdom caked in the most ordinary things." -- Sister Helen Prejean, C.S.J., author of Dead Man Walking
"Reading his thoughts is like probing a diamond mine: each page lays bare another gem. Faithful followers will not only enjoy reading this latest spiritual masterpiece, but will find themselves reflecting on his thoughts long after they have finished the book." -- Fr. Joseph F. Girzone, author of Joshua
"[This] daily companionoffers faith in plain speech, solid nourishment of the soul." -- Kathleen Norris, author of Dakota and The Cloister Walk
