Words of Pierre Goursat

Pierre Goursat (1914-1991), the founder of the Emmanuel Community, wrote very little. He was, however, a man of prayer, and his teachings and the advice he gave were words of fire. His Words reveal Pierre Goursat's strong character, and also the way in which he introduced people to a Christian life of evangelization lived out in the real world. Simplicity and joy fill this book, giving the reader the desire to follow the path that Pierre suggests. It is the kind of book one needs to read slowly, and to re-read. Martine Catta is a doctor. Together with Pierre Goursat, she is the co-founder of the Emmanuel Community. In addition to her hospital work, she learned a great deal from her work as a doctor with l'Arche, founded by Jean Vanier. She is married and has three children.
