Gracias! A Latin American Journal

In this journal, GRACIAS!, Nouwen tells of his travels in Bolivia and Peru, he ponders the presence of God in the poor, the challenge of a persecuted church, the relation between faith and justice, and his own struggle to discern the path along which God is calling him. Originally published ten years ago, this edition includes a new preface in which Nouwen reflects, in light of the 500th anniversary of Columbus's voyage, the meaning and challenge of the Latin American church, both for himself and for North American Christians
