Archbishop Desmond Tutu and the Dalai Lama have been friends for many, many years. Between them, they have endured exile, violence and oppression. And in the face of these hardships, they have continued to radiate compassion, humour and, above all, joy. To celebrate His Holiness's 80th birthday, Archbishop Tutu travelled to the Dalai Lama's home in Dharamsala. The two men spent a week discussing a single burning question: how do we find joy in the face of suffering?

Reaching out to listeners of all religious backgrounds, Desmond Tutu shows us how to transform suffering into joy both in our lives and in our world. He tells us that God dreams of a world where laughter, love, and peace reign, and where we realize that we are all members of one family, God's family. In this extremely personal and liberating message, Father Tutu helps us "see with the eyes of the heart" and cultivate the qualities of forgiveness, humility, generosity, and courage.

Many people are fed up with the way traditional religion alienates them. Too easily it perpetuates conflict, vilifies science, and undermines reason. Nancy Abrams - a philosopher of science, lawyer, and lifelong atheist - is among these people, but she has also found freedom in imagining a higher power. Here, Abrams explores a radically new way of thinking about God. She shows why an omniscient, omnipotent God that created the universe and plans what happens is incompatible with science - but that this doesn’t preclude a God that can comfort and empower us.

O que devo fazer para perdoar? O Arcebispo Desmond Tutu, detentor do Prêmio Nobel da Paz, testemunhou alguns dos piores crimes que o ser humano possa cometer contra seu próximo.

Escrito em parceria com sua filha Mpho, uma sacerdotisa da Igreja Anglicana, Tutu expõe verdades simples, mas profundas, sobre o significado do perdão, sua dinâmica, por que todos precisam saber como concedê-lo e como recebê-lo, e por que perdoar é o maior presente que podemos dar a nós mesmos quando alguém nos fere.
