Through some 150 prayers and poems, Heal Your Soul, Heal the World offers comfort, healing, and inspiration to everyone who lives in this ever-changing world.In Heal Your Soul, Heal the World, a wealth of writers offer compelling reflections about the universe in powerful verse -- from Martin Luther King, Jr. to Gandhi, from Mother Teresa to the Buddha, and from Walt Whitman to lesser-known, visionary poets. Divided into easily referenced chapters to aid those looking for a prayer or poem to fit a particular occasion, Heal Your Soul, Heal the World covers a wide variety of themes, such as love, wonder, tolerance, and hope.
