A brilliant description of an important element of the spiritual life: how we wait for God, and how God waits for his people. God's love is a waiting love, depending completely on our response to it. Nouwen presents as examples the figures of the Israelites, of Jesus the God-man, and of people he has met in his own ministry.

Journey of the Heart: The life of Henri Nouwen, is scheduled to air on over 100 PBS stations across the country. Find out your local listing by clicking here:
