Synopsis

In Made for Goodness, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Nobel Peace Prize winner and international icon of peace and reconciliation, shares his vision on why we can find hope and joy in the world's darkest moments by realizing that we were made for goodness, that we are wired so that goodness will win in the end. Archbishop Tutu is a spiritual leader and symbol of love and forgiveness on the level of Gandi, Mother Teresa, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and Nelson Mandela, and Made for Goodness, written with his daughter Mpho, is one of the most personal and inspirational books he's ever written.

Coming Soon: Archbishop Desmond Tutu's The Children of God Storybook Bible, a daily devotional and heirloom-quality keepsake. This beautiful gift Bible will resonate with parents, grandparents, and educators eager to present the message of God's love, forgiveness, and reconciliation to young children.

About this title

Review:

"Even with the incredible trauma and cruelty he endured in South Africa, Archbishop Tutu still radiates love and happiness. This book is a great gift to the world and will help all of us celebrate our goodness and oneness."--Sir Richard Branson, founder and chairman of the Virgin Group

"With disarming narrative skill, ...Tutu and his daughter...tell true stories in which both brutality and hopefulness turn out to be as intimate as they are global. If you are still open to being convinced that goodness changes everything, then this book is for you."--Barbara Brown Taylor, author of An Altar in the World

"Archbishop Desmond Tutu is the author of Made for Goodness - written with his daughter Mpho Tutu, also a priest in the Anglican communion - ... [a] reflection on faith, forgiveness and reconciliation."--NPR.org

"A crucially important book from the Nobel Peace Prize winner; a witness to our tumultuous times."--Library Journal

"Desmond Tutu and his daughter Mpho Tutu have seen more evil than most of us can begin to imagine. . . . That is why their book is shocking: How can they say that all people 'are fundamentally good'? . . . It is a perfect book for Easter."--The Christian Century

"Desmond Tutu has walked the talk all his adult life. We can all be grateful that, together with his daughter Mpho, he has now shared his secrets for why he has so much hope and joy."--Mary Robinson, former president of Ireland

"By giving the audience glimpses into his prayer life and other spiritual disciplines, ...Tutu offer[s] a series of poignant reflections that speak about [his] lifelong quests to choose righteousness in a world gone awry."--Sojourners

"I doubt there is anyone on this Earth with a deeper sense of God's presence and goodness than Archbishop Tutu. If you are thirsty for spiritual drink, come to the water of this beautiful book."--Thomas Cahill, author of How the Irish Saved Civilization and The Gifts of the Jews

"As the authors so clearly and beautifully say in this book, 'anyone can choose to cultivate compassion.' Thank you Archbishop Tutu for helping us all come back home to our true nature, which is inherently good and whole, and touch the peace that is always there for us."--Thich Nhat Hanh, author of The Art of Power and Savor
