Brian’s collected pieces, volume by volume.
Inspired by Henri Nouwen’s “The Return of the Prodigal Son.”
Henri, I hear you. The world is full of ifs and of conditional love unable to satisfy even those easiest to please. Your soul, my soul, her soul, all of our souls demand love from a source greater than our comprehension. We starve when we compete with those who are lost. We feast when we discover our love from within.
