A Community Called Taize: A Story of Prayer, Worship and Reconciliation - Tapa blanda

"An excellent book . . . Highly recommended for public libraries and all religious studies collections."--Tiffany R. Walsh, Catholic Library World, June 2010

"This book is a worthy introduction to one of the most interesting and edifying movements in the Christian world today."--Commonweal, September 25, 2009

"A wonderful example of a community that is living out the gospel in a unique way, with an understanding of God's provision and love beyond our western idea of PowerPoints and Sunday meet and greets."--Worship Leader, May 2009

"Chatty, practical, and animated by a winsome spirit, the book is aimed chiefly at young readers who might be dreaming about traveling to the Protestant monastic community in France. Santos combines personal narrative, theological reflection, and travel-guide details. The story he has to tell is definitely worth telling."--John Wilson, Christianity Today, April 2009

"This well-written history should be considered by anyone who may want to learn more about Taize."--Philip Marcoccia, The Catholic Register March 8, 2009

"A thorough and compelling book about this group that focuses on prayer, worship, reconciliation and evangelism in European countries, where Christianity is declining."--Steve Rabey, Youth Worker Journal, January/February 2009

"This Ph.D. candidate at Princeton Theological Seminary first landed at Taizé in 2005 on the very day its founder, Brother Roger Schultz, was murdered (at prayer) by a disturbed Romanian woman. Santos experienced the community's loving response to the tragedy."--B.B. St. Anthony Messenger, April 2010

"Lovely and instructive. . . . Besides Santos's careful research, readers will appreciate his thoughtful ideas about how to take Taizé's spirit beyond the community."--Publishers Weekly, starred review
