This book is an incredibly powerful and honest piece of writing. Objectively and subjectively. Reading this book brought me healing. A lot of my own suppressed grief surfaced, felt like my dad passed away last week not 8 years ago.

"Transformation is not about our plans and our activities. Transformation means that in Christ the form of this world is passing away and Christ's own form is taking shape in community..." Prof. Russel Hayman Botman @RusselBotman @BotmanFund @TheologyStel @StellenboschUni
@SiphoMahokoto @RusselBotman @BotmanFund @TheologyStel @StellenboschUni I vividly remember encountering these words when I was working on my master's thesis. What a brilliant theologian and truly compassionate human. His life and legacy continues to inspire.

Thank you #ArchbishopTutu for ALL you have been. Yours is a rich legacy that none can tarnish. Sleep Beloved Arch.
