Jean Vanier
“The ways of God are to bring down the powerful from their thrones and to lift up the lowly; not to judge or condemn but to meet people where they are and to give life.”— Jean Vanier
(Softcover; Templegate, 1990; Pp96) Compiled from Vanier’s earlier writings the reader is presented with reflections of great depth and perception on the role of the shepherd, recognition of personal weakness, our relationship with Jesus, and on the many different aspects of life in community. Vanier’s life and work with people who have a mental disability is rooted in a deep spirituality and relationship with Jesus, and he presents a challenging and uncompromising call to all those with a concern to follow Christ. This pocket-sized edition is an ideal accompaniment for anyone seeking to integrate a time of peaceful reflection into their daily lives. All selections are fully referenced. First published as Treasures of the Heart by Darton, Longman and Todd, UK 1989.
