With "Wounded Prophet," readers are given the first extensive look into this man who touched so many, through his own words but most powerfully through the eyes of those people around the world who knew Nouwen best. While researching this compelling biography, BBC producer Michael Ford conducted wide-ranging interviews with Nouwen's friends, colleagues, and family members. What he discovered was for more compelling than he'd imagined: Though Nouwen was indeed the generous and loving man many thought he was, he was also utter able to find consistent peace in his own life. Tormenting him were profound feelings of anxiety, insecurity, and loneliness. This portrait gives an honest and well-balanced account of Nouwen's life that leaves no mine unturned, investigating his childhood, his family, his sexuality, and his life as a priest and member of the L'Arche Daybreak Community in Toronto.
