"Countless lives have been touched and transformed by the ministry of the Taizé Community and its founder. Now translated into English, this second volume of Brother Roger's journal is a treasure trove of personal reflections and spiritual insights that will inspire you and make your heart sing." --Michael B. Curry, presiding bishop of The Episcopal Church " This second volume of Brother Roger's journal reflects the evolution of mission 'on the Hill' of Taizé and the growth of concern for youth. It can nourish all of us in the daily searching for faith and fullness. As Brother Roger wrote in his own turbulent times as he reflected on faith in our lives: 'We have nothing to fear.'" --Simone Campbell, SSS, 2022 Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient "The second volume of Brother Roger's diary plunges us into the years 1969-72 when the 'Taizé desert' began to bloom with the arrival of hundreds of young people in preparation for the 'Council of Youth.' It bears witness to the sorrows, troubles, dramas, disappointments of life, both in the world and in the church, to the difficulties and disenchantments of ecumenism, and brings the good news from the perspective of joy, hope, and love anchored in Christ.

" --Job Getcha, Eastern Orthodox metropolitan of Pisidia.
