Used Book – A Cry Is Heard, François-Xavier Maigre, Jean Vanier

This book is the fruit of a long period of reflection, in collaboration with the young writer and journalist François-Xavier Maigre. Jean Vanier wanted to address everyone, and particularly the younger generations, to share the impulse that led him to care for the most vulnerable. Let's Break Free! is a powerful call for everyone to commit to making their life a gift, an encounter with those we didn't expect. In this book, Jean Vanier reflects on his life, the founding of L'Arche, and particularly on difficult, even traumatic, episodes. He modestly reveals his choices for a life dedicated to others, in celibacy, but outside of a religious vocation. In simple, touching language, he finds the right words to awaken the feeling of being free and happy in the service of others.
