What makes us human is not our mind
BUT OUR HEART,
Not our ability to think but our ability
TO LOVE.
More About this Book
This book is an account of a ten-day visit Nouwen made to the parish of Santiago Atitlán in Guatemala at the invitation of Father John Vesey, a friend. Vesey was the priest sent to replace Father Stan Rother who was murdered on July 28, 1981. Nouwen is accompanied by Peter Weiskel, a friend and co-worker, who contributes photographs of the trip. The book is “about the life of a martyr and the man who took his place.”
