A Restless Soul, Meditations from the Road

Voyage around the glove with renowed apiritual writer Henri J.M. Nouwen as this unique travelogue charts an imaginary itinerary to locations that Nouwen actually visited, from Russia to Peru via Europe, Canada, and the United States. Join him as he examines the Return of the Prodigal Son painting in St. Petersburg, admires the joy of his fellow pedestrians on a beautiful day in Paris, mingles with senators in Washington, and listens to the stories of grieving women in Nicaragua. Nouwen's world is one of striking contrasts--one minute he is rubbing shoulder with teh affluent and influential, the next walking through lands of poverty and danger. Each situation tells a spiritual story and reveals that Nouwen is never slow to see the hand of God at work in the universe.
