Summary: Inspired by the ancient teachings of St. Anthony and the Desert Fathers, The Way of the Heart clears before us a spiritual path consisting of three stepping-stones: Solitude (learning not to be alone but to be alone with God); Silence (the discipline by which the inner fire of God is tended and kept alive); and Prayer (standing in the presence of God with the mind in the heart).

Review: I actually found it difficult to relate the teachings of the Desert Fathers to something I can use in my daily life. I didn't quite agree with everything Nouwen said, and even where I did, I missed some suggestions to practical application from him.
