Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

In a world marked by hatred and rivalry, and against ideologies based on resentment and exclusion, 1984 Nobel Peace Prize Winner Desmond Tutu and his daughter Mpho Tutu vindicate the importance of forgiveness. For them, this value is one of the most effective spiritual tools to build unity between humans and restore the love for your neighbors. In these pages, the social activists send a message of peace. Desmond, who experienced firsthand the repressions of his native South Africa and contributed to the founding of a free and just nation, knows that the path to achieve peace is not an easy one. However, his thoughts and opinions are seen as valuable contributions to the overall effort.
