Critics Review
“Bread for the Journey is a banquet for the heart and soul. Henri Nouwen is the Thomas Merton of the 90s.” - Dan Wakefield, author of Expect a Miracle
“Henri Nouwen shares personal moments, teaching moments, sacramental moments-moments of delight and surprise for anyone who cares to commune with him-and the One to whom he points each day of this journey. What a gift for us all! Bread for the Journey nourishes the soul.” - Fred Rogers, host and creator of Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood
“Henri Nouwen writes that this book of days turns out to be his creed….I am grateful to him for a creed that emphasizes God’s love and mercy in an unmerciful world.” - Madeleine L’Engle, author of A Live Coal in the Sea
”‘Give us this day our daily bread, ’ says the prayer. How graced we are to have Henri Nouwen’s bread to break at the beginning of each day. He has combined the flour, water, and yeast of his heart to provide us with loaves of wisdom to nourish us. I celebrate the creation of this book.” - Christopher deVinck, author of Simple Wonders
“What Henri Nouwen does so consistently, and with such freshness, is invite us to the feast of God’s presence. In this volume we are fed with more than rich crumbs, for once again Nouwen’s whole-grain reflections enlarge and multiply to nourish a multitude.” - Luci Shaw, author of God in the Dark and Writing the River
