Henri Nouwen by Wil Hernandez
As a spiritual icon, Henri Nouwen continues to exert a powerful influence on America’s religious landscape. In this important new book, Wil Hernandez reveals that in the dynamics of Nouwen’s spiritual formation and lived spirituality, integration and imperfection could coexist. By describing, analyzing, and synthesizing Nouwen’s writings, the author shows how Nouwen’s integrative pursuit of the spiritual life and its formation—one that weaves spirituality with psychology, ministry, and theology in a seamless fashion—is both fueled and tempered by his own experience of imperfection. HENRI NOUWEN: A SPIRITUALITY OF IMPERFECTION vividly portrays a counterintuitive and countercultural “brand” of spirituality in which the journey to perfection is through the sobering realities of imperfection. †Wil Hernandez, PhD, Obl. OSB, is a passionate advocate for the work of spiritual formation in individuals and congregations, and he finds great joy in sharing Henri Nouwen's spiritual legacy. He teaches courses on the spirituality of Henri Nouwen at seminaries and universities throughout the U.S. and abroad as a spiritual director and international workshop and retreat leader. He is also author of a Henri Nouwen trilogy, which includes Henri Nouwen and Spiritual Polarities: A Life of Tension, and is founder and executive director of CenterQuest: An Ecumenical Hub for the Study and Practice of Christian Spirituality (www.CQCenterQuest.org).
