Synopsis
Did you know that noise is scientifically proven to stress you out? Noise triggers a stress response in a region of your brainstem causing a release of cortisol (a stress hormone). Now think about how noise impacts you and why we need silence. Distinguished theologian, spiritual thinker and author Henri Nouwen writes about the importance of silence for spirituality and presents the invitation to "pray always" in The Heart of the Way . More than 100,000 copies sold! The great Henri Nouwen said, "What makes us human is not our mind but our heart, not our ability think but our ability to love." In The Heart of the Way Nouwen encourages people to take the disciplines of solitude, silence and prayer more seriously. He draws from the writings of the desert mother and fathers who lived in the Egyptian desert during the fourth and fifth centuries. This uplifting read is for anyone looking to: - Renew their spirituality and find faith within simple practices. - Learn more about continuous prayer and pursue a deeper relationship with God. - Create solitude and find comfort in silence. The Way of the Heart has helped men and women cast off the anger and greed that trouble the world--and find love, compassion, and peace in the heart of God. Within this book lies the most relevant and inspiring challenge that we shall ever face: to surrender the compulsive noise of the world for the way of the heart that leads us to God., "On the long road it's good to have Nouwen and his divining rod. Deftly he bends toward the drop of spiritual wisdom caked in the most ordinary things." --Helen Prejean, C.S.J., author of Dead Man Walking Henry J.M. Nowuen, one of the greatest of all spiritual writers, invites us to search deeply for the well-springs that nourish true ministry in his classic The Way of the Heart. Interweaving the solitude, silence, and prayer of the fifth-century Egyptian Desert Fathers and Mothers with our contemporary search for an authentic spirituality, The Way of the Heart not only leads us to a fuller encounter with God, but to a more creative ministry with our fellow human beings. Here is one of the most profound works from a writer known for his fresh and perceptive insights--and who stands alongside C.S. Lewis and Thomas Merton as an essential Christian scholar and thinker., The modern classic that interweaves the solitude, silence, and prayer of the fourth- and fifth-century Egyptian Desert Fathers and Mothers with our contemporary search for an authentic spirituality

The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good.
