The Book of Forgiving: The Fourfold Path for Healing Ourselves and Our World

The Book of Forgiving: The Fourfold Path for Healing Ourselves and Our World by Desmond Tutu and Mpho Tutu. Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Nobel Peace Prize, President of The Elders and Chairman of the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission, along with his daughter, Reverend Mpho Tutu, offer a manual on the art of forgiveness, helping us to realize that we are all capable of healing and transformation.

Tutu’s role as chairman of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission taught him a lot about forgiveness. If you asked someone what he thought was going to happen to South Africa after apartheid, it was almost universally predicted that the country would be devastated by a complete bloodbath. However, instead of revenge and revenge, this new nation chose to follow the difficult path of confession, forgiveness, and reconciliation.

Each of us has a deep need to forgive and be forgiven. After a long reflection on the forgiveness process, Tutu saw that there are four important stages in healing: admitting evil and acknowledging evil; Tell your story and witness the anguish; Ask for forgiveness and grant forgiveness; and the renewal or release of the relationship. Forgiveness is hard work. Sometimes it even seems like an impossible task. But it is only by walking this fourfold path that Tutu says that we can break free from the never-ending, unyielding cycle of pain and retribution. The Book of Forgiveness is both a touchstone and a tool, offering Tutu sage advice and showing how to experience forgiveness. Ultimately, forgiveness is the only way we have to heal ourselves and our hurting world.
