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.

With simplicity and honesty, he describes how the experience changed his attitudes and enriched his spiritual life.

The Road to Daybreak is Henri Nouwen's intimate diary that records his poignant year at L'Arche, which began in the summer of 1985, a precious time of inner renewal and self-discovery.

When Henri Nouwen left the world of academe and headed for the village of Trosly in France, he sought a place that would lead him 'closer to the heart of God.' Arriving at L'Arche community in Trosly, he felt as if he had finally 'come home.' Indeed, it was destined to change his life forever.
