Becoming Human
Becoming Human | Jean Vanier
3 posts | 4 read | 5 to read
In this deeply compassionate work, Jean Vanier shares his profoundly human vision for creating a common good that radically changes our communities, our relationships and ourselves. He proposes that by opening ourselves to others, those we perceive as weak, different, or inferior, we can achieve true personal and societal freedom. The 10th anniversary edition includes a new Introduction by the author.

“What is important is that each of us begins to trust in our own beauty and our capacity to do beautiful things and that we do not live simple in a struggle to survive”

Jean Vanier is one of the deepest, most profound writers I know. He started the L'Arche communities for intellectually disabled people so they could live with others and feel like part of a family. There are over 100 homes all over the world and he writes about his experiences with these people he has invited in, and how THEY have caused him to grow and change and become more human.

Louise Sounds similar to the impulse of Karl König, who founded the Camphill Communities that are now around the world. Have added to TBR list! ? 8y
