  • Used

From the early weeks of his seven-month stay at the Abbey of the Genesee in upstate New York to the final days of Advent, when he finds a new sense of calm expectation, Noouwen never loses his critical honesty. Insightful, compassionate, often humorous, always realistic, this book is both an inspiration and a challenge to those who are in search of themselves.
