The Book of Forgiving
Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Nobel Peace Prize winner, Chair of The Elders, and Chair of South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation Commission, along with his daughter, the Reverend Mpho Tutu, offer a manual on the art of forgiveness--helping us to realize that we are all capable of healing and transformation. Tutu's role as the Chair of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission taught him much about forgiveness. If you asked anyone what they thought was going to happen to South Africa after apartheid, almost universally it was predicted that the country would be devastated by a comprehensive bloodbath. Yet, instead of revenge and retribution, this new nation chose to tread the difficult path of confession, forgiveness, and reconciliation. Each of us has a deep need to forgive and to be forgiven. After much reflection on the process of forgiveness, Tutu has seen that there are four important steps to healing: Admitting the wrong and acknowledging the harm; Telling one's story and witnessing
Förlåtelse - Den Fyrfaldiga Vägen Till Helande För Oss Och Vår Värld
" Jag har ofta sagt att i Sydafrika hade det inte funnits någon framtid utan förlåtelse. Vår ilska och viljan att hämnas hade kunnat förstöra allt. Det är lika sant för var och en av oss som för hela världen. "Fredspristagaren och rättviserebellen Desmond Tutu har tillsammans med sin dotter Mpho Tutu skrivit en bok om förlåtelse. Den är grundläggande, praktisk och fylld av medkänsla.Här får vi möta kvinnan som vittnade i Sydafrikas sannings- och försoningskommission om hur brutalt hennes man blev mördad, men som ändå säger: Jag vill veta vilka som mördade min man. Jag vill förlåta dem.Här får vi möta många andra som haft svårt att förlåta. Den unga kvinna som blev utsatt för övergrepp av mammans nya man, pojken som varje dag blev slagen av sin far. Hur gör man om man vill förlåta? Och kan allting verkligen förlåtas?Boken är skriven för alla som längtar efter att kunna förlåta, men även för dem som är i behov av förlåtelse. Världen behöver förlåtelse, skriver Desmond och Mpho Tutu, och alla människor kan bli en del av den.Desmond Tutu är ärkebiskop emeritus i Anglikanska kyrkan i Sydafrika och anses vara Sydafrikas mest framstående ledare, näst efter Nelson Mandela. Han blev känd motståndare till apartheid och icke-våldsförespråkare och ledde Sydafrikas sannings- och försoningskommissions sedan apartheidväldet fått ett slut. Tutu fick nobelpris 1984, och har på senare år engagerat sig för att uppmärksamma det svåra hiv/aids-läget i Afrika.Mpho Tutu är dotter till Desmond Tutu och präst inom episkopala kyrkan. Hon är grundare och direktor för the Tutu Institute for Prayer and Pilgrimage i Washington D C, USA, samt ordförande för Global Aids Alliance. År 2010 gjorde hon ett uppmärksammat besök på bokmässan i Göteborg i samband med att boken Om godhet kom ut på svenska.

Alla kan vara lyckliga. Alla kan känna glädje. Det gäller bara att veta hur man gör. I april 2015 möttes de två vännerna Dalai Lama och Desmond Tutu för att samtala om glädje. Resultatet är denna bok, som innehåller deras personliga berättelser och lärdomar om glädje, de senaste vetenskapliga upptäckterna om djup lycka och dagliga övningar som utgör ankaret till ett rikt känsloliv.Dalai Lama och Desmond Tutu är stora spirituella och moraliska ledare, kända för att vara två av vår tids mest smittande glädjespridare, och båda har tilldelats Nobels fredspris. Men de har också prövats av stora personliga motgångar, och här delar de med sig av sin egen kamp. För att själv kunna känna riktig glädje måste man bringa glädje åt andra. Och framför allt visar Lama och Tutu hur den egna glädjen och humorn kan leda till ett lyckligt och harmoniskt liv."Två andliga mästare delar med sig av sin visdom i denna upplyftande bok.
