Masterminded by Michael Christensen, PhD, and Rebecca Laird, MA, DMin, The Nouwen Trilogy compiles Nouwen’s unpublished homilies, interviews, classes, and speeches, as well as excerpts from his published writings.

In these timeless reflections, Nouwen invites listeners into a deeper life of prayer, vulnerability, and communion. With pastoral warmth and theological depth, he explores the transforming power of solitude, the grace of open-handed prayer, the healing found in shared sorrow, the contemplative gaze that beholds God’s beauty, and the sacred intimacy of heart-to-heart relationships.

With Open Hands offers a gentle encouragement to listeners seeking God and insight to the components of prayer, silence, acceptance, hope, compassion, and prophetic criticism.

Invites listeners to reflect on the tension between the desire for solitude, and the demands of contemporary life. This work reminds that it was in solitude that Jesus found the courage to follow God's will, and shows that fruitful love and service must spring forth from a living relationship with God.

Heart Speaks to Heart invites readers to accompany Henri J. M. Nouwen on a Holy Week retreat where he sought to deepen his understanding of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. What began as an intellectual pursuit soon became a profoundly personal encounter. Moved by the mystery of God's love revealed in the Passion and Resurrection of Christ, Nouwen's focus shifted from studying the Sacred Heart to speaking directly to the heart of Jesus—and listening for his response.

Henri Nouwen believed in praying with his eyes open by gazing at icons, an act that touches at the core of Eastern spirituality. "Icons," he says, "are created for the sole purpose of offering access, through the gate of the invisible, to the mystery of the invisible. Icons are painted to lead us into the inner room of prayer and bring us closer to the heart of God." In Behold the Beauty of the Lord, Nouwen's meditations on four Russian icons invite listeners to view icons as holy places, not as decorations.

In the final year before his death in 1996, Henri Nouwen wrote an account of the death of his friend Adam, a severely handicapped young man from L'Arche. In the story of Adam he found a way to describe his own understanding of the Gospel message. Adam could not speak or even move without assistance. Gripped by frequent seizures, he spent his life in obscurity. And yet, for Nouwen, he became his friend, teacher, and guide. It was Adam who led Nouwen to a new understanding of his faith and what it means to be Beloved of God.
