People may be more divided than ever. But Howard Thurman says God can still transcend every barrier and heal every wound. Family feuds, church splits, racial tensions, political polarization, systemic injustice, and international conflicts can all be overcome if we keep turning to God.
Thurman’s message is rooted in his belief that true spirituality will transcend individualism and alleviate injustice and suffering. As spiritual advisor to civil rights leaders such as Martin Luther King Jr. and James Farmer, Thurman made the connection between faith and action.
In these selections from his many books, Thurman reflects on the power of silence, contemplative prayer, the need for community, and the call to “live in the world as it is and still believe in the possibility of redemption.” Whether you are new to his writings or have long admired his work, this little book offers a fresh approach to Thurman’s spiritual vision of reconciliation, justice, and a hope grounded in the transformative work of love in the world.
Howard Thurman’s writings have become, for me, sacred texts—ground I return to again and again for wisdom, clarity, and renewal. I am especially grateful to encounter his voice in this remarkable collection created with such care. Each reading deepens my understanding and reorients my spirit, challenging me to live more faithfully into the demands of love, compassion, honesty, and courage. Thurman's words never leave me unchanged; and I suspect you may find yourself transformed by these pages too. —Michelle Alexander, author, The New Jim Crow
