One of the most significant humanitarians of the 20th Century, Jean Vanier's social conscience and vision are matched only by the deeds with which he carried them out. Vanier's life speaks his vision that only by "opening ourselves to outsiders, those we perceive as weak, different, or inferior, [can we] achieve true personal and societal freedom." This book is not only a book of extraordinary ideas from a man who lived them, but a profound call to action.
