	Michael Downey: Jean Vanier: Recovering the Heart
		Canadian, born in Geneva, Switzerland on 10 September 1928, Jean Vanier is one of five children of the late nineteenth Governor-General of Canada, George Philias Vanier and his wife, Pauline Archer Vanier.
		For Vanier, contemplation is of the mystery of God revealed in the weak, and in the weakness of Jesus in his infancy, hidden life, agony, and passion.
		Vanier's examination of affective needs and the means by which they are met is based upon experience, wherein woundedness and vulnerability are strong, as is the affective dimension.

	Vanier
		Vanier sees that we are all weak in one way or another, our self-reliance, independence, power over others and the world ultimately a lonely illusion.
		Vanier's is an idealistic vision, and can be approached from a purely secular or socialist ideology, but because of Vanier and others like him, it is also a concrete and peculiarly Christian reality in little places around the globe, small lights in a dark world showing forth what it is to live out Kingdom values.
		Nonetheless Vanier's book is a humble, delightfully-written spiritual account of service to the poor and needy that would make a wonderful companion to such recent studies as Richard Foster's Celebration of Discipline and Freedom of Simplicity, Tom Sines' The Mustard Sead Conspiracy, or Ron Sider's One-sided Christianity.
