Home Tonight: Further Reflections on the Parable of the Prodigal Son

Home Tonight follows the path of Henri Nouwen€s 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 Rembrandt€s famous painting. Within his solitude he reflected on and identified with the parable€s 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 Nouwen€s intimate encounter with Rembrandt€s painting. Readers are led to welcome their unique Belovedness through practices of €œspiritual 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.
