How do I forgive? Nobel laureate Archbishop Desmond Tutu has witnessed some of the worst crimes people can inflict on others. So wherever he goes, he inevitably gets asked this question. This audiobook is his answer. Writing with his daughter, Mpho, an Anglican priest, they lay out the simple but profound truths about the significance of forgiveness, how it works, why everyone needs to know how to grant it and receive it, and why granting forgiveness is the greatest gift we can give to ourselves when we have been wronged.

In his first official book published as Pope, in celebration of his Jubilee of Mercy, Pope Francis here addresses all humanity in an intimate and personal dialogue. At the center of this book is the subject closest to his heart - mercy, which has long been the cornerstone of his faith and is now the central teaching of his papacy. These words resonate with a desire to reach all those souls who are looking for meaning in life, a road to peace and reconciliation, and the healing of physical and spiritual wounds.

Dr. Brown defines spirituality as something not reliant on religion, theology, or dogma - rather, it is a belief in our interconnectedness and in a loving force greater than ourselves. Whether you access the sacred through traditional worship, solitary meditation, communion with nature, or creative pursuits, one thing is clear: Rising strong after falling is a spiritual practice that brings a sense of perspective, meaning, and purpose to our lives.

In November 2014, 13 members of the Biden family gathered on Nantucket for Thanksgiving, a tradition they had been celebrating for the past 40 years; it was the one constant in what had become a hectic, scrutinized, and overscheduled life. The Thanksgiving holiday was a much-needed respite, a time to connect, a time to reflect on what the year had brought, and what the future might hold. But this year felt different from all those that had come before.

The Dalai Lama, at his most compassionate and outspoken, here elaborates and deepens his vision for the nonreligious way. Transcending the mere "religion wars", he outlines a system of secular ethics that gives tolerant respect to religion, those that ground ethics in a belief in God and an afterlife, and those that understand good actions as leading to better states of existence in future lives. And yet, with the highest level of spiritual and intellectual authority, the Dalai Lama makes a claim for what he calls a third way.

From simple practices such as walking, working, and getting lost to deep meditations on topics like prayer and pronouncing blessings, Taylor reveals concrete ways to discover the sacred in the small things we do and see. Something as ordinary as hanging clothes on a clothesline becomes an act of devotion if we pay attention to what we are doing and take time to attend to the sights, smells, and sounds around us. Making eye contact with the cashier at the grocery store becomes a moment of true human connection.

A true gem of compassion at its highest level
I do a lot of spiritual reading, and I have been known to make it 60% of the way through a book before moving on to the next one. While most of these books have been very valuable to me, it is rare to come across one that speaks to my heart the way this one has. The warmth, wisdom, simplicity and depth with which Desmond speak in this work are truly captivating. I highly recommend this title, particularly for times when inspiration may seem to be missing from your life, and times where you may be feeling pain, loss, or hurt.

Would you listen to God Has a Dream again? Why?

What was one of the most memorable moments of God Has a Dream?
The humour and passion Desmond Tutu delivers throughout this reading keeps the listener wanting to hear more.
Any additional comments?
If a believer or not there is much to get out of this book time and time again, and put into practice in your everyday life.

A Dream that gives everyone Hope
What did you like most about God Has a Dream?
The sensitivity with which Desmond Tutu reads his story, his gentle humour and the grace with which he describes some intensely difficult times in his own life and in the history of South Africa makes this an excellent book to listen to.
What did you like best about this story?
I loved the honesty in Bishop Tutu's writing. Whether he writes about an horrific injustice or about a funny episode, his sincerity makes it completely convincing.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I listened to this book in one sitting (well, one bread baking session) - and then again! It is one of those books that one can never tire of.
