blessings from thinkers and writers around the world. Here you will find

of Nelson Mandela and Martin Luther King, Jr.; a treasury of women's
prayers; classical verse from China and Japan; and beautiful chants and
prayers by Native Americans. A joyous affirmation of the human journey
in all its forms, in all its struggles and glories.
