Acclaimed as a man ''who inspires the world'' (Maclean's) and a ''nation builder'' (Globe and Mail), Jean Vanier has made a difference in the lives of countless people - including those with disabilities and the many young people who have been moved by his life's work. <i>Becoming Human</i> is a modern classic that continues to resonate among the generations. In a world of competition, where the strong dominate the weak, Vanier calls on each one of us to open ourselves to those we perceive as different or inferior. This, he says, is the key to true personal and societal freedom. This 10th anniversary edition includes a new introduction by the author.
