Description
A PRAYER FOR THE THIRD MILLENNIUM
Long before the events of 9/11 took America and the world by: storm the opening words of this book highlighted terrorism as a major evil in the midst of which we live. While warning against such dangers in 1998, this book traced the path we should take to counter them. That path was to understand and implement the message of world peace embedded in one of the greatest prayers of all time.
Tens of millions recite it every day but its peace-related implications pass largely unnoticed. It is a prayer for all people, all religions, all ages and all situations. Indeed it is a prayer particularly relevant to the 21st Century, which humanity will not survive unless it follows the profound guidance and wisdom the prayer contains. The 20th Century was a century of lost opportunity to achieve peace and world order. The 21 st Century will be our century of last opportunity to achieve these goals.
Through an original study of a type not undertaken in the thousands of books written down the centuries about the Prayer, the author demonstrates that the Prayer is a veritable treasury of human rights and principles of world order deeply relevant to the problems of our time. These implications are rarely perceived and the nuggets of practical wisdom with which it is so richly strewn remain unimplemented. The book will be a revelation to those who read it, who will probably recite the Prayer thereafter with a new depth of understanding of the guiding light it offers through the tempests of our time.
Totally free of legal and theological complexities, this book is stimulating reading for everyone from school level upwards who is searching at this critical time for a bridge to a better world
