About this listen

Carol Berry and her husband met and befriended Henri Nouwen when she sat in his course on compassion at Yale Divinity School in the 1970s. At the request of Henri Nouwen's literary estate, she has written this book, which includes unpublished material recorded from Nouwen's lectures. As an art educator, Berry is uniquely situated to develop Nouwen's work on Vincent van Gogh and to add her own research. She fills in background on the much misunderstood spiritual context of van Gogh's work, and reinterprets van Gogh's art in light of Nouwen's lectures. Berry also brings in her own experience in ministry, sharing how Nouwen and van Gogh, each in his own way, led her to the richness and beauty of the compassionate life.

Such a rich and stimulating book. The writer senses all of the emotions and love for nature through a spiritual window of deep understanding. Highly commend ☺️

Superb insight to both Nouwen and Van Gogh

a bit underwhelming. I kind of expected more hidden gems of Vincent's spiritual life but there was nothing really very new for me.
