The Living Reminder: Service and Prayer in Memory of Jesus Christ

“ The Living Reminder was like a visit from a friend I needed to speak with. The surprise for me was how much I needed to hear him say familiar things.”— National Catholic ReporterThe Living Reminder is a gift from Henry J.M. Nouwen—along with C.S. Lewis and Thomas Merton , one of the 20 th century’s most beloved and important spiritual writers. Subtitled “Service and Prayer in the Memory of Jesus Christ,” Nouwen’s book presents simple yet powerfully profound expressions of the joys of religious service, prompting the publication New Review of Books and Religion to note that we read Nouwen “to discover new possibilities in our own faith.”
