SHOW INTRODUCTION:
Today I’ll be talking with Reverend Mpho Tutu Van Furth, daughter of Archbishop Desmond Tutu, a Nobel prize winner and a peace-loving leader in the anti-apartheid movement in South Africa.
She’s the co-author, along with her father, of one of the single-most important books I’ve ever read, The Book of Forgiving: The Fourfold Path for Healing Ourselves and Our World
And that’s just what I want to talk with her about today. About the fourfold path for healing ourselves and our world.
That, plus we’ll talk about choosing the next right thing, fine arts and electrical engineering, kitchen-table ministry, a laptop romance, and what it means to be a prince in high heels!
