About This Item
VG, near Fine 8vo. First edition, 2nd printing. This is a signed presentation copy on ffp, not a bookplate. Personalized inscription with a thank you for supporting the Susan Estes Foundation. There are remarks about the signing written by a third party. It contains laid in material including a ticket to An Evening with Desmond Tutu event and a photo with Desmond Tutu and three attendees, one of whom wrote the third party remarks. This is a remarkable copy because it captures a snapshot of Desmond Tutu sharing his vision with American audiences on tour. Because it is so personalized, it is in a class by itself compared to the Easton limited edition and the signed book plate copies.
Synopsis
Nobel Laureate Desmond Tutu has long been admired throughout the world for the heroism and grace he exhibited while encouraging countless South Africans in their struggle for human rights. In God Has a Dream, his most soul-searching book, he shares the spiritual message that guided him through those troubled times. Drawing on personal and historical examples, Archbishop Tutu reaches out to readers of all religious backgrounds, showing how individual and global suffering can be transformed into joy and redemption. With his characteristic humor, Tutu offers an extremely personal and liberating message. He helps us to "see with the eyes of the heart" and to cultivate the qualities of love, forgiveness, humility, generosity, and courage that we need to change ourselves and our world. Echoing the words of Martin Luther King, Jr., he writes, "God says to you, 'I have a dream. Please help me to realize it. It is a dream of a world whose ugliness and squalor and poverty, its war and hostility, its greed and harsh competitiveness, its alienation and disharmony are changed into their glorious counterparts. When there will be more laughter, joy, and peace, where there will be justice and goodness and compassion and love and caring and sharing. I have a dream that my children will know that they are members of one family, the human family, God's family, my family.'" Addressing the timeless and universal concerns all people share, God Has a Dream envisions a world transformed through hope and compassion, humility and kindness, understanding and forgiveness.
