With open hands

by Henri J. M. Nouwen

"Take a new look at With Open Hands, Henri Nouwen's first book on prayer and a treasured introduction to prayer for over thirty years. With Open Hands gently encourages an open, trusting stance toward God and offers insight into the components of prayer: silence, acceptance, hope, compassion, and prophetic criticism. Updated for a new generation with moving photography and a foreword by Sue Monk Kidd"--page 4 of cover.
