From the Back Cover
Henri Nouwen, who died in 1996, was one of the most significant writers on spirituality of the late twentieth century. Reaching Out combines two of his most popular books in one volume. With a foreword of personal appreciation by the ever popular Father Gerard Hughes, this special edition will be treasured by the many admirers of Henri Nouwen. The main part of the book is Reaching Out which answers the question "What does it mean to live a life in the Spirit of Jesus Christ?" The second part is Glimpse Beyond the Mirror which is a very personal account of the author's spiritual life in the aftermath of a terrible accident.

Henri Nouwen (1932-1996) was the author of many best-selling books on Christian spirituality. He was senior pastor of L'Arche Daybreak in Toronto, Canada, a community where men and women with disabilities, and their assistants, create a home for one another.
