The Miracle, The Message, The Story
The Miracle, The Message, The Story: Jean Vanier & l’Arche (Paperback) by Kathryn Spink (9782895077206):
The fascinating story of a spiritual giant, this long-awaited book links Jean Vanier’s biography to the continuing development of l’Arche.
In 1964, Jean Vanier, son of the Governor General of Canada and a Dartmouth trained ex-naval officer, invited three men with mental disabilities to share his home. This simple act led to the establishment throughout the world of a network of communities in which people with disabilities share their specific gifts and live in peace and dignity.
To understand Vanier, writes Kathryn Spink, we simply have to look at l’Arche: how and why it was founded and how it has evolved in the past 40 years. This is as much a spiritual biography of Vanier as an interpretation of what l’Arche means to the contemporary world. Jean Vanier worked closely with the author as she wrote this book.
