Healing: A Journey of Tolerance and Understanding

Today I picked up my copy of this book, one of my favorites. I so wish that someone would re-publish this, so that so many more of us could have our own copies. We need this book as much today as we did when it was first printed. The book is tiny, "easy," but very insightful. Ali and Hauser have compiled a wonderful collection of quotes on the subject of tolerance and understanding. Two of my many favorites: "You lose a lot of time hating people." (Marian Anderson, p. 41) "If it be an evil to judge rashly or untruly any single man, how much greater a sin it is to condemn a whole people." (William Penn, p. 23.)

I was part of the first group of people who saw this book before it's release. Muhammad Ali came to my high school to promote cultural, and racial unity. This book helped young teenagers such as myself that the world should not be filled with hate. Healing helped my school heal, with it's powerful knowledge.
