Contemporary society is the product of the disintegration of more or less natural or familial groupings. People are afraid, uncertain - and shut themselves away. But they need companions, friends with whom they can share their lives, their visions, and their ideals; in short, they need community. Jean Vanier, founder of the world famous l'Arche community for the mentally handicapped and their helpers, has written a unique book. It is no dry and systematic treatise, but rather a brilliant series of 'starting points for reflection' on the nature and meaning of community. 'Our communities should be signs of joy and celebration... If we are accepted with our limitations as well as our abilities, community gradually becomes a place of liberation... this terrible place can become one of life and growth.'

Community and Growth

Acclaimed as a man who inspires the world” (Maclean's) and a nation builder” (Globe and Mail), Jean Vanier has made a difference in the lives of countless people  including those with disabilities and the many people who have been moved by his life's work.

A new reflection from Jean Vanier on the Gospel of John, based on a series of talks originally written for television. Vanier moves through each passage, setting it in the context of the other gospels, and drawing out messages for our contemporary world in a slow prayerful rhythm, that guides the reader more deeply into the mystery of Jesus.
