{"product_id":"a-community-called-taize-jason-brian-santos-9780830835256","title":"A Community Called Taize","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eTaizé\u003c\/i\u003e--the word is strangely familiar to many throughout the contemporary church. Familiar, perhaps, because the chanted prayers of Taizé are well practiced in churches throughout the world. Strangely, however, because so little is known about Taizé--from its historic beginnings to how the word itself is pronounced. The worship of the Taizé community, as it turns out, is best understood in the context of its greater mission. On the day Jason Brian Santos arrived in the Taizé community its leader was brutally murdered before his eyes. Instead of making Santos want to leave, the way the community handled this tragedy made him long to stay and learn more about this group of people who could respond to such evil with grace and love. In this book he takes us on a tour of one of the world's first ecumenical monastic orders, from its monastic origins in the war-torn south of 1940s France to its emerging mission as a pilgrimage site and spiritual focal point for millions of young people throughout the world. In \u003ci\u003eA Community Called Taizé\u003c\/i\u003e you'll meet the brothers of the order and the countless visitors and volunteers who have taken upon themselves a modest mission: pronouncing peace and reconciliation to the church and the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jason Brian Santos\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0830835253\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780830835256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e IVP Formatio\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/26\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 204\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.59lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.22h x 6.30w x 0.59d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/13\/2008 pg. 50\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChristianity Today\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2009 pg. 62\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eCommonweal\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/25\/2009 pg. 28","brand":"Jason Brian Santos","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44056915280127,"sku":"9780830835256","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_913a08dc-9fb3-4a48-819e-2f86cb7ed308.jpg?v=1685043977","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-community-called-taize-jason-brian-santos-9780830835256","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
