Meet the author
Henri J. M. Nouwen was an internationally renowned professor of pastoral theology at prestigious universities like Yale, Harvard, and Notre Dame, and a beloved spiritual guide. His extensive academic work was profoundly shaped by his decision to leave academia and spend his final decade ministering to people with developmental disabilities at the L'Arche Daybreak community.
