Though he counseled many people during his lifetime, his principles of spiritual formation were never written down. Now, Michael Christensen, one of Nouwen's longtime students, and Rebecca Laird, one of Nouwen's editors, have taken his famous course in spiritual formation and supplemented it with his unpublished writings to create the definitive series on Nouwen's thoughts on the Christian life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe first book in the series, \u003cem\u003eSpiritual Direction\u003c\/em\u003e, introduced readers to Nouwen's core concepts and how to live the ques-tions of the spiritual life.
