Our Greatest Gift A Meditation on Dying and Caring

One experience that everyone shares, no matter what faith they pursue (if any) is aging and death. Henri J.M. Nouwen, one of the best-loved spiritual writers of our time, takes a moving, personal look at human mortality in Our Greatest Gift. A meditation on dying and caring for those who are nearing the end of their lives, Nouwen gently and eloquently reveals the gifts that the living and dying can give to one another. The beloved bestselling author of With Open Hands, The Wounded Healer, and Making All Things New shares his own experiences with aging, loss, grief, and fear in this important and life-altering work. Henri J. M. Nouwen (1932-1996) was the author of With Open Hands, Reaching Out, The Wounded Healer, Making All Things New, and many other bestsellers. He was the senior pastor of L''Arche Daybreak in Toronto, Canada, a community where men and women with mental disabilities and their assistants create a home for one another.
