Home Tonight follows the path of Henri Nouwens spiritual homecoming. More than three years prior to writing his great classic, The Return of the Prodigal Son, Nouwen suffered a personal breakdown followed by a time of healing solitude when he encountered Rembrandts famous painting. Within his solitude he reflected on and identified with the parables characters and experienced profound and inspiring life lessons.This captivating book was created from never-before-published materials that formed the basis of the small workshop inspired by Nouwens intimate encounter with Rembrandts painting. Readers are led to welcome their unique Belovedness through practices of spiritual listening, journaling, and communing with God, thus connecting personally with the unique, unconditional love of the One who created them. Home Tonight is a practical guide for the inner journey home.
