This book has been a lifeline to me. It has helped me through my very darkest hours. I recommend it for people on a spiritual journey who have are having trouble loving themselves or hoping and trusting in God. I am a twice-divorced Christian woman, and the author was a Catholic priest, but he and I shared the same struggles. If Henri Nouwen were still living, I would write to him and thank him for writing this life-changing, life-affirming book. He truly understood the heart of God.
Orignally given to me by a friend when I was struggling with loss,now I share it with others. Nouwen experienced loss and has shared with us, in a profound way, his journey through it. I read it in bits, a few sections at a time. "The Inner Voice of Love" is a wonderful tool for understanding and dealing with personal struggles.
