Reseña del editor

Inspiration from leaders and visionaries around the world.

As the year 2,000 approaches, the longing for hope is all around us – hope that the millennium will usher in a new era of peace, justice and healing. This unique collection expresses and celebrates the myriad variations of that hope. Elizabeth Roberts and Elias Amidon have collected hundreds of millennial wishes and blessings – the majority of which were written specially for this volume – from a diverse group of distinguished international contributors. Challenging us to make the hard choices that can bring true understanding and reconciliation, the Dalai Lam, Desmond Tutu, Thomas Moore, Elie Wiesel, Marianne Williamson, Jack Canfield, Vaclav Havel, Gloria Steinman, and many other share their visions of a better future.

Organized around timeless themes – from the end of war and ideal of justice to personal empowerment and the promise of youth – this book is an inspiring gift to everyone who has faith in the future.
