Henri's Mantle

Glaser is clearly cloaked in Henris mantle as he reflects on specific gems from Henris works. The reader is treated to the enriched nourishment of Henris thought enhanced by the insights and experience of his long-standing friend and colleague. Henris Mantle is real food for the spiritual journey. --Sue Mosteller CSJ literary Executrix of the Henri Nouwen Estate Henris Mantle is a cloak of many colors interwoven with rich seams of theological insight and underlain with a perceptive appreciation of Nouwens work. Glasers personal reminiscences of his mentor are particularly compelling allowing us to look over the authors shoulder and observe the intimate world of a spiritual master. But through these meditations we are given a glimpse into the soul of Glaser himself--and sense he too is close to God. --Michael Ford author of Wounded Prophet: A Portrait of Henri J. M. Nouwen and Father Mychal Judge: An Authentic American Hero Henri Nouwens trapeze troupe trusted the firm grip of Gods catching commitment to all of us: You are my beloved on you my favor rests. In this book Glaser gracefully glides across various spiritual themes to illustrate Gods grasp and how much Glaser is a full-fledged spiritual acrobat. --Laurent Nouwen Henris youngest brother By weaving information about his own life and spiritual journey Glaser shows how Henris mantle has been gratefully received by him and how eager he is to pass it on. This is a fine addition to the ever-expanding Nouwen collection. --Wendy Wilson Greer President Henri Nouwen Society In life and death Henri was in the vestibule of on incomplete Church and on unfinished world welcoming others and their own experiences of God and justice. Glaser brilliantly evokes our own weaknesses guiding us to keep our faith in the strength and love of the Divine Catcher who will lift us up and carry us home. --Walter Sanchez Universidad de Chile Chris Glaser is the author of nine books on the spiritual life including Reformation of the Heart and Communion of Life: Meditations for the New Millennium.
