Die innere Stimme der Liebe

What does it mean for a person when they suddenly find themselves facing nothingness? In an instant, nothing is as it was - happiness, confidence, and security turn into grief, loneliness, and pain. When a friendship breaks apart, Henri Nouwen experiences exactly this. He believes he can no longer go on living, but finds help in conversation and in a diary that he revised for publication shortly before his death. The result is a book of self-discovery that shows how bitter experiences can become blessings. "This book contains my secret diary. I wrote it during the most difficult period of my life. It was a phase in which I was overwhelmed by great unrest and deep fear. To my surprise, I never lost the strength to write in this situation. Yes, writing became a part of my struggle for survival. That’s how I managed.".
