| | Publications | | Drawn into the Mystery of Jesus through the Gospel of John | | | Jean Vanier | | "The message of this gospel is simple. It is about being chosen to become a friend of Jesus. It is about mutual presence and learning from each other. To live as Jesus lived and to love and he loved."— Jean Vanier |  (Softcover; Novalis, 2004; Pp360)
The fruit of many years of reflection, study, prayer and living in community Drawn into the Mystery of Jesus through the Gospel of John is Jean Vanier’s in-depth study of this, his favourite Gospel. With a deep understanding of the context, language, symbolism, historical setting and biblical roots of John’s Gospel, Vanier guides us step-by-step through each chapter. Beautifully laid out and accented with related icon images the reader will be taken on a journey of discovery of the “music behind the words” as Vanier describes it. Jean Vanier not only presents his unique insights into the fourth gospel, he also reveals how this particular gospel has been central to the development of his own spirituality. At the same time, he shows how he continues to apply this understanding of the spirituality of the Gospel of John in the daily life of l’Arche, the international organization he co-founded over forty years ago to create communal, nurturing homes for some of the world’s most vulnerable.
