Suggestion: Works by Jean Vanier (2015 Templeton Prize winner)
Jean Vanier has just been honored as the 2015 recipient of the prestigious Templeton Prize, which is awarded annually to someone who “has made an exceptional contribution to affirming life’s spiritual dimension, whether through insight, discovery, or practical works.”
Vanier is a Canadian Catholic philosopher and social innovator, founder of the L'Arche movement, comprising communities all over the world for people with mental disabilities.
I would like to see some of Jean Vanier's works in Logos or Vyrso. Here's a list of all his works I can find in English. Complicating matters is the fact that he's published with so many publishers, but perhaps you could start with a collection of his books with Paulist Press.

From Brokenness to Community (Paulist Press, 2014)
Community and Growth (Paulist Press, 1989)

Yes, Henri Nouwen too, but there are already threads listing all or most of his works or boosting him as an important author to get in Logos. Go put thumbs up there too. This thread is for Vanier.

But note that Nouwen has already been added to their list of book candidates (see here), so that's more progress than Vanier. We have no idea whether they've seen let alone taken up the Vanier suggestion. I've emailed requesting him too.

I read his "Drawn into the Mystery of Jesus through the Gospel of John" a few years ago. He has a great understanding of the message of the Gospel and how we are to live this in our day-to-day lives.

Yes, Vanier would be excellent.

It would be really great if Faithlife would consider a Vanier Collection. He was a wise sage whose wisdom was at once chalennging, while warm and comforting.

Voted. Especially timely now, as Vanier just died last month.
