Henri J. M. Nouwen
I would like to see the spiritual writings of Henri J. M. Nouwen be made available in LOGOS. Nouwen's thoughtful insight into the human mind and its understanding of God have been helpful in my spiritual growth. I was first introduced to Nouwen's work through his little book The Return of the Prodigal written as a response to Rembrandt's painting of the same name. I now own a couple of his other books, but would like to see all his writing in LOGOS.
Thank you for considering this request.
Yours because His,
Floyd
Blessings,

- The Inner Voice of Love
- The Genesee Diary
- The Way of the Heart
- Creative Ministry
- Reaching Out
- Here and Now

- Aging: The Fulfillment of Life
- Intimacy
- Clowning in Rome
- Letters to Marc About Jesus
- Behold the Beauty of the Lord: Praying with Icons

Also a biography of Nouwen would be nice.

What would be a good starter book for those unfamiliar with Nouwen's work?

The first book I read by Nouwen was Adam; God's Beloved and that led me on to reading many more.
I would really appreciate a Nouwen collection in Logos.
Great suggestion[Y]

I'd also like to add "The Road to Daybreak: A Spiritual Journey" to the list of requested Nouwen works, please.

Philip Yancey's Soul Surviver has a whole chapter about Nouwen. I wonder why it's not in Vyrso...

I've added a whole bunch of suggestions for his books to UserVoice. Please vote on the ones you care about.
These are the most important ones, IMO:
The Return of the Prodigal Son: A Story of Homecoming
The Wounded Healer: Ministry in Contemporary Society
Life of the Beloved: Spiritual Living in a Secular World
Second tier:
Reaching Out: The Three Movements of the Spiritual Life
Here and Now: Living in the Spirit
The Inner Voice of Love: A Journey Through Anguish to Freedom
The Road to Daybreak: A Spiritual Journey
Creative Ministry
The Genesee Diary: Report from a Trappist Monastery
Intimacy
A Spirituality of Fundraising
Our Greatest Gift: A Meditation on Dying and Caring
Aging: The Fulfillment of Life
Sabbatical Journey: The Diary of His Final Year
Behold the Beauty of the Lord: Praying With Icons
Letters to Marc About Jesus: Living a Spiritual Life in a Material World
The rest I'm either not familiar with, have no opinion about, or don't think they are as important to get in Logos. But I'd buy them all if they were available! Everything I've ready by Henri Nouwen is so excellent, draws me closer to God.
