More About the Author
Desmond Mpilo Tutu won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1984 and was only the second black person ever to receive it. 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.

Inspiring Read,

This review is from: Believe: The Words and Inspiration of Archbishop Desmond Tutu (Me-We) (Hardcover)
Wisdom is quiet, yet hopeful. It is seasoned, but ever new, analytical, loving, dignified and determined to believe the best for all of us. These are the words of Archbishop Desmond Tutu. Believe features so many wonderful excerpts from speeches and sermons meant to teach and inspire all within the sound of his voice. This little book packs a powerful punch.

This review is from: Believe: The Words and Inspiration of Archbishop Desmond Tutu (Me-We) (Hardcover)
I am a psychotherapist and educator. I received this as a gift and thought it would become an interesting cofee table book-- yet in truth it is filled with stories and quotes that awaken my consciousness to higher visions. I've carried this book everywhere I've traveled and turned to its inspiration it times of need.
Always illuminating.
