Thurman, a spiritualist and mystic, was renowned for the quiet beauty of his reflections on humanity and our relationship with God.In a new foreword, Yolanda Pierce, dean of Howard Universitys School of Divinity, calls attention to the justice-centered theological framework of Thurmans words.

They are a universal beacon of hope and endurance for people of all faiths seeking to meet the challenges, uncertainties, and joys of everyday life with a renewed and liberating faith.
