Description

'Hope is a path of light that opens up in our depths . . . Where is the source of this hope It is in God, a God who simply loves and can do nothing else, a God who never stops seeking us.' After more than sixty years of life in the Taiz Community, its founder, Brother Roger, brings together the essentials of his thinking in this outstanding book. Apart from the main themes which lie at the heart of Taiz - trust, simplicity, joy - God is Love Alone also includes personal accounts of events and people that have left their mark on the author and the Community. Closer to poetry than to abstract theology, this is a book to be meditated and mulled over. It is steeped in prayer and the experience of day-to-day life in community, and its message reflects the daily contact with young people who come to Taiz by the thousands, week after week, with a vital question: where can I find a meaning for my life In simple but striking words and images, Brother Roger tells how the inner life of prayer and acts of human solidarity flow from one and the same spring: from God, who never gives us anything less than his love.
