Contemporary society is the product of the disintegration of more or less natural or familial groupings. People are afraid, uncertain - and shut themselves away. But they need companions and their ideals; in short, they need Community. |

Here is what people are saying about the Community and Growth: Our Pilgrimage Together
 "Community Life" | 2006-11-10 |

This book helps me to understand more how to build up the community life.
This is an excellent book for any community learning to accept and live together as a good community with love. |

| "I can't put it in a short phrase..." | 2006-05-02 |
| - Reviewed By donaldekelly |
I read this book about 15 years ago and am going through it again now. It could use some editing, in my opinion. He goes over certain topics again and again.
But still 5 stars! It deals with the missing important link in social services - love and attachment! How to provide family or something family like to people who are broken.
Also, another theme is valuing people over success - that caring for and living life beside the weakest of us is "where it is at." Turning culture on it's head in a way.
Start by being with the broken, living in the same house as the broken. And then finally realizing you are also one of the broken. And that it is hard, but GREAT!
Or something like that. Vanier can tell the story much better than I can. I have heard him speak on three or four occasions and met him twice. He seems even more genuine and loving than his book is. One time he took a "sabatical" from his work leading the L'Arche Federation and lived in a house with one of the most challenging people in his community. Sabatical?
Anyway, having been around L'Arche now for 11 years and having seen not only the book and the man but some of the communities his vision resulted in - I think this book is very worth reading. Kind of a thick book - but not hard to read. |

| "Exhortative and Realistic Look at Community Life" | 2002-07-18 |
| - Reviewed By mcbethany |
| The profound wisdom in this book is born out of a lifetime of growth in the context of Christian community with the poor that Jean Vanier has been immersed in for almost 40 years. This book is not only interested in giving structural and personal tips for creating a healthy and God-centered community; it actually is like Jean Vanier's manifesto in terms of his paradigm of why community life is important and how God teaches special and beautiful things in the context of communities. He is such an effective writer. He is able to exhort the reader to want to pursue community life, but without being overly idealistic and ignoring the many complex difficulties that arise. Jean exhorts the reader to pursue community life not because it will be easy and always meet all our needs, but because it brings tremendous growth and because God's love and calling are bigger than the problems that come up in community. This is the best book I have ever read on community, and I will likely read it again. |

| "Excellent Christian Community Text" | 2002-06-01 |
| - Reviewed By Anonymous |
| Vanier takes an in-depth look at community life and living through his experiences with the L'Arche community in France. This Biblically-based book offers excellent insights, tips, rules and suggestions for how to build a healthy community. The book is a wonderful primer for anyone considering the possibility of living in Christian community. |

| "A Rich Resource for the Christian Community" | 2000-05-10 |
| - Reviewed By johntittle |
| Jean Vanier's Community and Growth sheds such light on the topic of community. The richness flows from years of keen observation, experience, reflection, and prayer on this issue. Vanier has lived and breathed community, not just studied it. Humility and grace flow from each page. Vanier's servant leadership in the l'Arche communities is a wonderful living witness to the world of what Christian love looks like fleshed out. A real strength in this book is Vanier's insight into human nature. Even as Christians we are a mixture of light and darkness. But God's grace shines through when we accept others as they are. Yet at the same time, the community beckons each individual member to grow more Christlike. This book teaches us how to live in any kind of community: the home, church, small group, or any gathering. Vanier writes that a true community "provides a sense of belonging and an orientation of life to a common goal and common witness" (p.10). With such clarity and perception Vanier paints a vivid picture of community for us: the importance of unity, forgiveness, mission, selflessness, communication, celebration, humility, and respect for authority. Community and Growth helps us along the journey of "life together." There are some books that are to be read once. And there are others to be read and reread. This book invites us to return to it over and over--like an old friend. |
