Publisher's Note In NO FUTURE WITHOUT FORGIVENESS, Tutu argues that true reconciliation does not come easily nor by merely denying the past. More than repeating platitudes and trite theories about forgiveness, he puts forward a bold spirituality that recognizes the horrors people can inflict upon one another and yet retains a sense of idealism and realism about reconciliation. With a clarity of pitch born out of decades of experience, Tutu shows readers how to move forward with honesty and compassion to build a newer and more humane world.
Industry Reviews "Tutu's stature and his moving account both of life under Apartheid and the horrific testimony brought to the TRC make this an important exploration of the relation of faith and morality to politics." Beliefnet (12/01/2000)
