In these timeless reflections, Nouwen invites listeners into a deeper life of prayer, vulnerability, and communion. With pastoral warmth and theological depth, he explores the transforming power of solitude, the grace of open-handed prayer, the healing found in shared sorrow, the contemplative gaze that beholds God’s beauty, and the sacred intimacy of heart-to-heart relationships.

Invites listeners to reflect on the tension between the desire for solitude, and the demands of contemporary life. This work reminds that it was in solitude that Jesus found the courage to follow God's will, and shows that fruitful love and service must spring forth from a living relationship with God.

Henri Nouwen believed in praying with his eyes open by gazing at icons, an act that touches at the core of Eastern spirituality. "Icons," he says, "are created for the sole purpose of offering access, through the gate of the invisible, to the mystery of the invisible. Icons are painted to lead us into the inner room of prayer and bring us closer to the heart of God." In Behold the Beauty of the Lord, Nouwen's meditations on four Russian icons invite listeners to view icons as holy places, not as decorations.

With Open Hands offers a gentle encouragement to listeners seeking God and insight to the components of prayer, silence, acceptance, hope, compassion, and prophetic criticism.
