We Need Each Other, Volume 1: Responding to God's Call to Live Together

By Jean Vanier

Book Overview

When Templeton Prize winner JEAN VANIER led a retreat in Nyahururu, Kenya, that country had recently been shattered by violence and bloodshed. Vanier's message was life-changing.

With frequent reference to the life and teachings of Jesus, Vanier asks:
- What are you seeking?
- Do you see that the feast is ready?
- Are you willing to be open?
- Do you realize how much you need other people?

"His powerful message and practice of love has the potential to change the world," said Jennifer Simpson, granddaughter of Sir John Templeton, when announcing the award of the Templeton Prize to Vanier.

"Jean Vanier brings you in touch with a place inside yourself that few people have reached," remarked Henri J. M. Nouwen.

Praise for We Need Each Other
"We all want to be noticed and loved by those who are famous, beautiful, and admired. To be loved by them gives us a good feeling. But to be loved by the poor, by those with disabilities, by those who have no place with the famous, the
beautiful, and the admired, is t he real place where unconditional love and healing will find us. How do we come to that practically in our lives? In this book, Jean Vanier gives us both a vision and a map. This is vintage Vanier."
