Reimer; foreword by Jean Vanier | | This book is not only important for people in L’Arche, but also for all those who want to know more about it and all those who are searching for a new way to live in our broken and divided world. —Jean Vanier |  (Hardcover; Liturgical Press, 2009; Pp184)
From the Foreword
In our L’Arche communities we live together: people with disabilities and people who for one reason or another come to be with them…What is it like to live together? Here is an excellent book that will tell you what it is all about and how it really is…These stories are not idealized — far from it. They tell of the pains and the joys, the frustrations, the conflicts, the angers of the assistants, but also of their transformation and growth…Kevin does not stop at the stories…He leads us into reflection of what is happening in people, and how the healing and transformation are taking place in them and at what level. He links the experiences of assistants to a vision given through human sciences. He shows us from a very human point of view the meaning of L’Arche, but also of the human person.
