Publisher's summary

Reaching out to listeners of all religious backgrounds, Desmond Tutu shows us how to transform suffering into joy both in our lives and in our world. He tells us that God dreams of a world where laughter, love, and peace reign, and where we realize that we are all members of one family, God's family. In this extremely personal and liberating message, Father Tutu helps us "see with the eyes of the heart" and cultivate the qualities of forgiveness, humility, generosity, and courage that we need to realize God's Dream personally and globally.

Wisdom with Humor

This is a book that is so far above. Because Tutu was the narrator, one can hear the compassion from his voice and his words. A Must read - again and again.

A true gem of compassion at its highest level

I do a lot of spiritual reading, and I have been known to make it 60% of the way through a book before moving on to the next one. While most of these books have been very valuable to me, it is rare to come across one that speaks to my heart the way this one has. The warmth, wisdom, simplicity and depth with which Desmond speak in this work are truly captivating. I highly recommend this title, particularly for times when inspiration may seem to be missing from your life, and times where you may be feeling pain, loss, or hurt.

A must read book for enlightenment

Demond’s words are so powerful and authentic. I listened to this book more than once and every time I do, I am reminded of God’s true love and the reason why we are here.

A vitally important audiobook

I listened to this after the passing of Archbishop Desmond Tutu, because I felt the need to hear his words in his own voice. The wisdom and truth and inspiration within this audiobook is rare indeed. This is an extraordinary audiobook. We get to hear him read at this time in human history, showing us, gently, how God wants us to do what we can to help make the world a better place. His spirit and words live on in this audiobook.

Waters the hope for what we can do for a better future

Desmond Tutu with compassionate love moves diligently through the truth of the struggles in our world today to a place of empowered hope of what we can do to make the world a better place! It seems that so many people seem to sit in the struggles & pain of our world with out offering hope or solutions of how we can add to healing it. This book is a hopeful call to the human spirit that all people matter and each of our efforts to give forgiveness and love creates healing transformation! Thank you Desmond Tutu for being an inspiring example of god’s love, and being a lighting voice in the dark that each of us can make a difference!
