Synopsis

From the best-selling author of The Return of the Prodigal Son, essential listening for Christians, Catholics, and all spiritual seekers.

You are no doubt familiar with beloved spiritual master Henri Nouwen, who published 40 highly influential books during his lifetime. Now you can glean additional insights from three edifying Nouwen works published posthumously.

Each session was carefully prepared by Dr. Michael Christensen, an award-winning professor of Christian ministry and practice, and Dr. Rebecca Laird, who was Nouwen’s student at Yale Divinity School. Each volume of The Nouwen Trilogy collects Nouwen’s unpublished homilies, interviews, classes, and speeches, as well as excerpts from his published writings. Editing these works into a definitive guide to the Christian life, Drs. Christensen and Laird memorialize his popular teachings.
 
Spiritual Formation: Following the Movements of the Spirit is part of this trilogy. Available for the first time in audio format, these convenient sessions move you through the five stages of spiritual development: awakening, purgation, illumination, dark night, and unification.

The audiobook is performed by Joe Abbey-Colborne, a veteran of pastoral ministry who played Nouwen in Gabrielle Earnshaw’s presentation Love, Henri: Letters on the Spiritual Life with the Henri Nouwen Society.
 
Enhance your spiritual development with Nouwen’s wisdom today.

This course is part of the Learn25 collection.

(4:52) Second in the trilogy. This book suggests it is best to be read slowly and with a group. The book covers movements that we take as spiritual beings. Two examples from the index are "from opaqueness to transparency" and "from exclusion to inclusion." We don't necessarily make these movements in......more

Goodreads review by Nathan on August 24, 2021

I really liked the layout of the book. Each chapter moves towards a different dimension of formation. Chapters are like: from opaqueness to transparency, from fear to love, to denying to befriending death, etc. Nouwen uses great stories at the beginning of each chapter to hook attention and to illus......more

This was a great book. Nouwen is a Catholic priest, so for a protestant there are some things that we obviously would disagree on, but they are largely secondary in nature. Henri Nouwen's insight into the topics as it relates to the journey of spiritual formation, are immensely helpful.......more
