The Book of Forgiving

The Book of Forgiving (2014) is a practical guide to harnessing the power of forgiveness and healing in your own life. As humans, we will all experience hurt at some points in our lives. We’ll also harm other people, intentionally or not. Learning to both hold yourself and others  accountable and forgive them for what they’ve done will transform your personal relationships and broader communities. 

• Anyone who is estranged from a loved one, and is looking for ways to reconcile
• Psychology buffs interested in a contemporary approach to forgiveness, and how it can change our lives
• Admirers of Archbishop Desmond Tutu who want to learn more about his pioneering work in forgiveness. 

Archbishop Desmond M. Tutu won the Nobel Prize in 1984. In 1994, Tutu was appointed as chair of South Africa’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission, which is credited as allowing South Africa to experience a nonviolent transition to democracy. The process has been adopted by countries all around the world looking for ways to move forward after civil conflict and oppression.

Mpho A. Tutu is a priest, author and activist. Previously, she performed the role of executive director at The Desmond and Leah Tutu Legacy Foundation.
