His first visit inspired \u003ci\u003eThe Genesee Diary\u003c\/i\u003e, a moving account of his daily experiences and of contemporary monastic life. When he returned five years later, the familiar, comfortable daily rhythms of the contemplative life led him to concentrate his attention on meditation. He disciplined himself to write a prayer each day, an endeavor that became this extraordinary book.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn these daily prayers, Father Nouwen confronts his own inner chaos as he tries to create a space in his heart where God can dwell. Powerful, searching, and painfully honest, Nouwenâ s prayers, confessions, and petitions point to the final goal of all spiritual life: to live unceasingly in the presence of God. Like \u003ci\u003eThe Wounded Healer \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eThe Return of the Prodigal Son\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eA Cry for Mercy\u003c\/i\u003e is filled with freshness and insight. It\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003espeaks directly to the contemporary Christianâ s need for a meaningful spirituality, a disciplined inner life, and a real sense of the divine presence in everyday life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":51546407010592,"sku":"NEW0385175078","price":81.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Used - Good","offer_id":51546407043360,"sku":"USED0385175078","price":9.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/91y9G6tslXL.jpg?v=1777690273","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/a-cry-for-mercy-prayers-from-the-genesee-0385175078","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
