Описание: 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 At the request of Henri Nouwens literary estate, she has written this book, which includes unpublished material recorded from Nouwens lectures. As an art educator, Berry is uniquely situated to develop Nouwens work on Vincent van Gogh and to add her own research. She fills in background on the much misunderstood spiritual context of van Goghs work, and reinterprets van Goghs art (presented here in full color) in light of Nouwens 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.
