Prayers for a thousand years: blessings and expressions of hope for the new millennium (1st ed.)

As the year 2000 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 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 Lama, Desmond Tutu, Thomas Moore, Elie Wiesel, Marianne Williamson, Jack Canfield, Vaclav Havel, Gloria Steinman, and many other share their visions of a better future.
