Gives me the creeps on the first page mentioning his spiritual father as if he did not know the guy was doing evil things, and how the gospel draws us into the mystery of Jesus. We all know what mystery mean for him. Seem hypocritocal for him to write about marriage given his life history. Hopefully he repented before death. ( ) With lyrical language, smoothly intriguing interpretations, fine research, and an almost poetic structure that demands and rewards thoughtful reading, Jean Vanier's Drawn Into the Mystery of Jesus follows the gospel of John and invites readers to follow and meet John's heavenly Lord. "God does not say 'If you change I will love you,'" says the author, relating Jesus’ calling of his disciples. God loves us first, and then we change, relieved of guilt and freed to become more like we were made to be. As chapters follow Christ's passion and death we are reminded of our calling to "become one," united by love. "A man who was condemned to death by the Romans... would finally humble... all the empires of the earth," and give us peace. This book is a beautiful contemplative, lyrical and informative look at what that means today, and a wonderful read. Disclosure: My mother was given this book and loaned it to me. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
Jean Vanier celebrates the gospel of John in his highly anticipated latest work, DRAWN INTO THE MYSTERY OF JESUS THROUGHOUT THE GOSPEL OF JOHN. Thoroughly personal and inspiring, DRAWN INTO THE MYSTERY challenges all Christians to encounter the fullness of life lived in close communion with God. Vanier writes: "These insights that I share in this book come from the life of Jesus in me....They also flow from my life with people who are weak and who have taught me to welcome Jesus from the place of the poverty in me." Jean Vanier was a friend and influential mentor to the late Henri Nouwen. Toward the end of his life, Nouwen left Harvard to live and work at one of Jean Vanier's L'Arche communities. This was perhaps the most profound experience of Christianity Nouwen experienced. The thought and spiritual direction/discipleship of Jean Vanier is available to all in DRAWN INTO THE MYSTERY OF JESUS THROUGH THE GOSPEL OF JOHN. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
