Caregivers, whether professional or personal, know the joys and anguish of providing care for one another. Henri Nouwen, in much of his writing, offers a perspective of caregiving that sets the heart's inner compass in a life-giving direction.
In a live call-in event sponsored by The Upper Room and the 
Henri Nouwen Society, Gordon Peerman and Marjorie Thompson will engage in a conversation about their own experience with | |

The more we touch the intimate love of God which creates, sustains, and guides us, the more we recognize the multitude of fruits that come forth from that love. - Henri Nouwen
