Following Jesus: Finding Our Way Home in an Age of Anxiety

Following Jesus: Finding Our Way Home in an Age of Anxiety

â€œTimeless wisdom for life from one of the great spiritual masters of our age.â€â€”James Martin, S.J., author of Jesus: A Pilgrimage
Â
In this never-before-published work of inspiration, the bestselling author of The Return of the Prodigal Son offers a compelling case for why Christianity is still relevant, beautiful, intelligent, and necessary in the modern world.

At one of the lowest points in Henri Nouwenâ€™s life, he gave a series of lectures on the importance of following Jesus in an age of anxiety. Drawn from those talks, this new work reveals what sustained Nouwen to remain faithful to the teachings of Jesus and led him to become an icon of compassion and vulnerability. Here he writes eloquently about calling and purpose, fear and hope. And he explains whyâ€”with so many choices available to the twenty-first-century seekerâ€”the greatest reward for those looking for spiritual direction is rediscovering Jesusâ€™s teaching on love. Along the way, Nouwen offers warm, insightful, practical habits to help readers navigate the narrow, sometimes arduous, but ultimately fulfilling road of conviction and faith.

Praise for Following Jesus
Â
â€œFew writers have influenced me more than Henri Nouwen. These newly published lecturesÂ offer fresh and timely insights amid the familiar cadences ofÂ Nouwenâ€™s prose, written from a place of deep anxiety but even deeper hope.â€â€”John Inazu, professor of political science, Washington University in St. Louis, author of Confident Pluralism

â€œInÂ Following Jesus, beloved pastor and spiritual mentor Henri Nouwen guides the reader on the journey he has traveled as a follower of Jesus. Without minimizing the anxieties, fears, and brokenness that touch down in every readerâ€™s story, Nouwen gently leads the way into a life that centers on Jesus and engulfs the follower with Godâ€™s love, a sense of belonging, and a purpose that endures.Â Truly a wise and welcome word for anyone in this age of anxiety.â€â€”Carolyn Custis James, author ofÂ Half the Church: Recapturing Godâ€™s Global Vision for WomenÂ andÂ Finding God in the Margins
