"We Need Each Other is a treasure. . . . Though these lectures were first delivered ten years ago, and halfway around the world, they couldn't be timelier. They are timely because they are timeless." --John Pattison, Englewood Review of Books
"We all want to be noticed and loved by those who are famous, beautiful, and admired. To be loved by them gives us a good feeling. But to be loved by the poor, by those with disabilities, by those who have no place with the famous, the beautiful, and the admired, is the real place where unconditional love and healing will find us. How do we come to that practically in our lives? In this book, Jean Vanier gives us both a vision and a map. This is vintage Vanier." --Ronald Rolheiser, author of The Holy Longing and Bruised and Wounded
"Jean Vanier is a living saint." --James Martin, SJ, author of Jesus: A Pilgrimage
"This is a sweet, small, hardback volume that offers the reflections of this living saint and Winner of the Templeton Prize. You may recall that Vanier is a master of writing about community and has given his life to offering care and hospitality among the mentally and physically challenged. (Henri Nouwen famously went to one of Vanier's L'Arche communities to live with the disabled in Toronto.) This book actually came out of a retreat Vanier led in Nyahururu Kenya (a land that has been shattered by violence and bloodshed.) There is a powerful endorsing blurb on the back by Ronald Rolheiser notes how Vanier helps us get to a place of feeling accepted, loved. What a graceful little volume this is." --Byron Borger, Hearts and Minds Books

"His powerful message and practice of love has the potential to change the world." --Jennifer Simpson, granddaughter of Sir John Templeton, announcing award of the 2015 Templeton Prize to Vanier
"Jean Vanier brings you in touch with a place inside yourself that few people have reached." --Henri J. M. Nouwen
"He opens our eyes and touches our hearts in speaking to us about the Savior." --Rev. Rawley Myers, author, Daily Reflections with Jesus
