"Very, very inspiring book. I thought that each line could be studied and pondered for a lifetime. I'm glad I read it. Plus, and I realize this is kind of juvenile, I was glad it was short. I can handle heavier books or I can handle long books. I seldom can handle both. " — Emily (4 out of 5 stars)

" This was an easy book to read with a very life changing message. Getting to sit down with this book and read it was like getting to sit down with you grandpa and listen to a lifetime of stories. I highly recommend this. "

" Beautifully written words of peace. "
" if anyone else said what Tutu does, I'd probably laugh or say something cynical. He doesn't necessarily have a way with words--but he does have a way with his heart. This is a good basis for starting to learn about the way he thinks... "
" He did it again. He just challenges me and pushes me to see humanity differently and God too. "
Desmond Mpilo Tutu (1931-2021) was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1984. In 1986 he was elected archbishop of Cape Town, the highest position in the Anglican Church in South Africa. In 1994, after the end of apartheid and the election of Nelson Mandela, Tutu was appointed as chair of South Africa’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission to investigate apartheid-era crimes. His policy of forgiveness and reconciliation has become an international example of conflict resolution and a trusted method of postconflict reconstruction. He is currently the chair of the Elders, where he gives vocal defense of human rights and campaigns for the oppressed.
