The essays gathered here were presented at a 2006 conference in Toronto marking the 10th anniversary of his death. They include contributions from members of Nouwen’s family, companions and colleagues from the L’Arche community, friends, scholars, and notable writers including Mary Jo Leddy, Michael Higgins, Michael O’Laughlin, and Sue Mosteller. Together they assess the reasons for Nouwen’s extraordinary popularity and the relevance of his spiritual message today.
