Offers the wisdom of an American mystic and prophet, whose work has inspired generations on their spiritual journey of personal and social transformation.
'In those long midnight hours when morning seemed weeks, if not years, away, the words of Howard Thurman have kept watch with me' Alice Walker, author, The Color Purple
'Thurman is one of those persons who sows the seed. In fact, I don't believe you'd get a Martin Luther King, Jr. without a Howard Thurman' -- Walter L. Fluker, Morehouse College
Howard Thurman (1900-1981), minister, philosopher, civil rights activist, has been called 'one of the greatest spiritual resources of this nation.' His encounters with Gandhi in India helped instill in him a commitment to nonviolence. His identification of Jesus as one of the disinherited and his analysis of race relations as a spiritual issue informed the thinking of Martin Luther King, Jr. And his embrace of wisdom from other faith traditions emboldened interfaith cooperation and understanding.
