Henri's Mantle

Henri's Mantle: 100 Meditations on Nouwen's Legacy Henri Nouwen and his student Chris Glaser have both enriched my spiritual journey through their individual books. Chris begins with a quote from one of Henri's books, often puts it into Henri's life context and then reflects upon the quote. Being a student of Henri, Chris has personal correspondence and conversations to draw upon to add to the picture of Henri. Each of the 100 meditations is about 2 pages long. The table of contents summarizes in 2 to 6 words what each meditation is about so that a reader can skim through the contents to find the meditation that might be most meaningful for the immediate moment. This is a book to meditate upon for 100 days and not read all of it at one sitting. This book is going to join the short list of books that I turn to again and again for personal reflection.
