From some of our most prominent spiritual and religious leaders, poets
and thinkers, singers and writers, a book of wisdom to light our way in
dark times.
At the start of 2020, in what felt already like an age of disorder, our
world faced one of the gravest global challenges in a century. Covid-19
raced around the earth, and chaos erupted. Yet in the midst of this
crisis, billions of human beings responded with love. Across the globe,
people sought to connect, whether in person from a socially distant six
feet or via a screen from 10,000 miles away.
In that moment, Tim Shriver saw an opportunity for those hungry for
community to answer a call to heal, a call to hope, a call to unite. He
asked monks and nuns, artists and activists, nurses and doctors,
ex-presidents and ex-cons to come together to share messages of
inspiration, transformation, and love. This book captures the spirit of
that 24-hour event.
Featuring stories and insights from Bishop TD Jakes, Elizabeth Gilbert,
Van Jones, Amy Grant, Dr. Rheeda Walker, Pastor Rick Warren, Rev. Jacqui
Lewis, Jewel, Deepak Chopra and many others, The Call to Unite offers
readers a book of wisdom to turn to in hard times - filled with prayers,
poems, spiritual insights and lessons to live by that will stand the
test of time.
Those seeking affirmation, solace, and inspiration need only look inside
for guidance in finding the light in any crisis. Only in embracing each
other can we amplify the love that creates our global community. Only in
coming together can we be our happiest, and our best.
