Description

On The Return of the Prodigal Son, you will learn how a chance encounter with a painting by Rembrandt led this beloved Dutch priest and writer on the last great spiritual adventure of his life. Celebrated as the author of many books on contemporary spiritual life, Nouwen spent his final years ministering to handicapped adults before he died unexpectedly in 1996. In this rare archival session, Nouwen shows how, like the prodigal son, we find ourselves today in a “distant country” where we spend our lives searching for love where it can never be found. Nouwen explores the “mystery of homecoming,” into the embrace of an all-loving, all-forgiving God who is both mother and father. Enriched with many stories from Nouwen s remarkable life as a theologian, a peace-worker, a pastor, and a seeker.
