This book for both seekers and Christians emphasizes the importance of friendship for human understanding and community. Beginning with stories of friendship in biblical accounts and the teachings of the early leaders of the church, Brother John describes friendship as the basis of community at Taizé, an international ecumenical community that draws thousands of young people from around the globe each year to join together in worship and prayer. Such a worldwide network of friends has incredible potential to change the world for the better as they live out their Christian faith.
