Jean Vanier (1928-2019) was a philosopher, theologian and man of letters, with a great and compassionate heart. He was awarded the Templeton Prize in 2015 (past recipients including Archbishop Desmond Tutu and H.H. the Dalai Lama). The first L’Arche Community was started in 1964 in Trosly-Breuil, a village in the north of Paris when Vanier invited two people with intellectual disabilities to live with him in a small house. This house he called L’Arche, French for ‘The Ark’, a name then adopted by all communities around the world founded on these principles. Today L’Arche is made up of 151 communities spread over five continents.
About
Depression is a painful reality, an illness that we cannot treat by ourselves. We need help to recover from it, and a friend to walk with us through the difficult times.
Jean Vanier (1928-2019), regarded as one of the great spiritual figures of our time, authored this clear, simple book about depression. The writing is inspirational and sympathetic as he explores how we can move beyond depression - out of the darkness into the light.
The L'Arche Community, founded by Jean Vanier in 1964 for people who have developmental disabilities, today encompasses 151 communities around the world.
