"The Living Reminder was like a visit from a friend I needed to speak
with. The surprise for me was how much I needed to hear him say familiar
things."
--National Catholic Reporter
The Living Reminder is a gift from Henry J.M. Nouwen--along with C.S.
Lewis and Thomas Merton*,* one of the 20th century's most
beloved and important spiritual writers. Subtitled "Service and Prayer
in the Memory of Jesus Christ," Nouwen's book presents simple yet
powerfully profound expressions of the joys of religious service,
prompting the publication New Review of Books and Religion to note
that we read Nouwen "to discover new possibilities in our own faith."
