A Universal Heart by Kathryn Spink – The Life and Legacy of Brother Roger of Taizé (Used Paperback Edition)
 
 
A Universal Heart by Kathryn Spink offers a moving and insightful portrait of Brother Roger, the founder of the Taizé Community—a monastic, ecumenical order in France dedicated to reconciliation, simplicity, and contemplative worship. Through vivid storytelling and personal reflection, Spink reveals the spiritual depth, humility, and universal compassion that made Brother Roger one of the most admired Christian figures of the 20th century.
This biography not only traces his personal journey from Reformed Protestant roots to a radically inclusive vision of unity among Christians, but also reflects on the spiritual legacy of Taizé, whose chants, silence, and prayer have drawn pilgrims of all ages and backgrounds from around the world.
Ideal for anyone interested in Christian unity, contemplative spirituality, or the Taizé movement, this book is both a historical account and an invitation to deeper faith, peace, and hope.
