Home Tonight

Home Tonight: Further Reflections on the Parable of the Prodigal Son (Doubleday, 2009) was published posthumously from Henri Nouwen's unpublished writings, edited by Sue Mosteller, CSJ, his friend and literary executor. It returns to the parable and to Rembrandt's painting at the centre of The Return of the Prodigal Son, drawing on material from the years of his breakdown and healing that preceded that book. Organized as a practical guide, it invites readers to find themselves in the figures of the parable and to welcome their own belovedness through spiritual listening, journaling and prayer.
