The Road to Daybreak is Henri Nouwen's intimate diary recording his most poignant year at l'Arche, which began in the summer of 1985, a precious time of inner renewal and self-discovery. With simplicity and honesty, he describes how the experience changed his attitudes and enriched his spiritual life.

He recounts the struggles and self-doubts he faced along this rocky road to a new vocation, and introduces us to the people of l'Arche and many others whose impact on him was deep and long-lasting. Such was the impact of this experience that he chose to say yes to the call to go to l'Arche Daybreak Community in Toronto and make it his permanent home and ministry.

Rich in insights and sparkling with touching and inspiring anecdotes, The Road to Daybreak invites the reader to join this renowned spiritual writer on his journey to a deeper understanding of God and the human family.

This is the story of Nouwen and L'Arche. It is the start of a romance, a journey that would ultimately change Henri Nouwen at a base level and cause him to find new meaning, insight and beauty in the most profound way. And in turn, to then go forward and share that insight and understanding in a life made new and in a faith changed that would in turn change many other peoples lives too. Beautifully and honestly written—as are all Nouwens works—this series of diary entries capture for us the revelation of faith and change, the joy and even heartache of finding a new vocation, the reality of dealing with one's own bias and supposition and finding in that breakdown a miracle of insight. If you never read another book by Nouwen then read this one, if you have ever struggled with the idea of disability then read this book, if vocation—or the duality of work and spirituality—is a struggle you are dealing with and you feel somewhat alone, then I would wholly suggest you read this book too.
