Summary of Desmond Tutu & Mpho Tutu's The Book of Forgiving

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 Forgiving is the best form of self-interest, both spiritually and scientifically. Without forgiveness, we remain tied to the person who harmed us, and we are unable to experience healing and freedom.

#2 Forgiving is not only good for your health, but it also allows you to release yourself from whatever trauma and hardship you have experienced and reclaim your life as your own.

#3 We are deeply connected to one another, and we need each other. We are made to exist in a delicate network of interdependence. To treat anyone as if they were less than human is to contravene the laws of our humanity.

#4 Forgiveness is not dependent on the actions of others. It is a free gift freely given, and it frees the person who offers it from the weight of the victim’s whim and threat of vengeance.
