Format:Paperback
The meditations of Howard Thurman touch close to the heart. I find Dr. Thurmans words comforting and uncomfortable, drawing me to stillness and action. It is a powerful book that draws you on to seek your true inner self. Anyone who reads this will find a friend and spiritual guide in Dr. Thurman
