About this title

Synopsis

Part autobiography, part memoir, part call to action to walk a path to unity and peace, this new book by L Arche founder Jean Vanier is profoundly inspiring and filled with hope.

Vanier s account of his life revolves around encountering difference and working constantly to build bridges and not walls: this is the path of peace. Indeed, says Vanier, a path to unity, fellowship, and peace is possible.

True freedom grows from loving others and letting ourselves be loved. By accepting ourselves and others with all our weaknesses and all our gifts we find true inner freedom. In meeting those on the margins, we heal our own hearts and are able to work for a transformation of societies.
