In God's hands
Book Description
In this profound spiritual meditation, Archbishop Desmond Tutu transforms decades of struggle against injustice into a luminous exploration of divine love and human worth. Drawing from his experiences navigating poverty, apartheid, and South Africa's painful journey toward reconciliation, Tutu reveals how life's most complex challenges ultimately point toward a beautifully simple truth.
At the heart of this contemplative work lies a revolutionary understanding: every person carries the divine within them, serving as a living sanctuary of God's presence. Tutu guides readers beyond conventional notions of earning love or proving worthiness, instead unveiling how God's affection exists independent of human merit or achievement. This radical perspective, he suggests, fundamentally reshapes how we view ourselves and others.
Through gentle wisdom earned in the crucible of public service and moral leadership, the Archbishop demonstrates how recognizing our inherent value as image-bearers of the divine becomes a source of unshakeable strength. His insights bridge the personal and political, showing how understanding our place in God's hands provides both comfort for individual struggles and courage for confronting systemic injustice.
Written with the clarity that emerges from deep spiritual maturity, this meditation offers readers a pathway to discovering their own sacred worth while embracing the profound simplicity that characterizes authentic faith. Tutu's message resonates with anyone seeking to understand their purpose within the larger tapestry of divine love.
