about the book
People may be more divided than ever. But Howard Thurman says God can still overcome every obstacle and heal every wound. Family feuds, church divisions, racial tensions, political polarization, systemic injustice, and international conflict can all be overcome if we continue to turn to God.
Thurman’s message is rooted in his belief that true spirituality would transcend individualism and reduce injustice and suffering. As a spiritual advisor to civil rights leaders such as Martin Luther King Jr. and James Farmer, Thurman made the connection between faith and action.
In these selections from his many books, Thurman reflects on the power of silence, contemplative prayer, the need for community, and the call to “live the world as it is and still believe in the possibility of salvation.”
Whether you are new to her writing or have long admired her work, this short book offers a new approach to Thurman’s spiritual vision of reconciliation, justice, and hope based on the transformative work of love in the world.
