A tale of two books: "The wounded healer" & “Wounded Prophet”

"The wounded healer" written by Nouwen is more about healing through personal and ministry wounds in general, not specific to do with sexuality. Only the book named "Wounded Prophet” which was not authored by Nouwen, but written by a biographer named “Michael Ford” about Nouwen after Nouwen’s death, in which Nouwen’s sexuality was being discussed. “The wounded healer” and “Wounded Prophet” are two different books written by two different persons. I would like to point this out because sometimes the contents from the two books have been mixed up by many people. I don’t think Nouwen had publicly identified himself as homosexual, but I read that he’d discussed his struggle with friends and in "private" journals. Also, so far there is no evidence that Nouwen broke his vow of chastity, but there was a personal struggle.
