The Wisdom of Desmond Tutu Concrete Spirituality I could not survive at all if I did not worship, If I did not meditate, If I did not try to have those moments of quiet to be with the Lord. I would collapse. It is that basic for me--a veritable physical thing. Desmond Tutu excerpt from the book

More about this book...

Tutu's approach of mediation and acceptance in the face of conflict is combined with a belief in the classical Christian doctrine of the Trinity--a belief that, at the very heart of the universe, there is a relationship of love, equality and interdependence. This belief leaves no place for the supremacy of one race above another-- and insists that all peoples belong to a global family.

Michael Battle
from the Introduction

In 1993 Michael met with Archbishop Desmond Tutu when he arrived for what was to be a two year stay in South Africa. He was keenly interested in Tutu's theology and was granted access to the Archbishop's unpublished writings and speeches, which allowed him valuable insight into the man and his work.

Out of the study and friendship which developed during that time and the years that followed, this collection of short thoughts and reflections emerged. Through the thoughts and meditations contained therein, the reader gets an awareness of the theology, spirituality, personal warmth and humor of this great man.

This is a book which can be read in an hour and over a lifetime. It makes a wonderful gift for anyone seeking wisdom.
