Love of God and love of others are the two great commandments: Jean

Vanier shows that these are the same thing. We express our love for

God through compassionate care for one another and we encounter

the love of God most tangibly through those closest to us.

In his chapter-by-chapter exploration of the Gospel of John, Vanier

explains how Jesus taught this lesson at every step of his ministry. He

includes stories from his work with L'Arche that express in earthly terms

the great privilege we have of developing our relationships with one

another and with God.

This book was written by Jean Vanier following a visit to the Holy Land.

He recommends that it is read alongside other works on the Gospel

of John, including his book Drawn into the Mystery of Jesus through the

Gospel of John.
