From some of our most prominent spiritual and religious leaders, inspirational thinkers, artists, musicians, and writers, a book of wisdom and solace to help us light our way out of dark times
We live in troubled times. In 2020, our world was faced with its most serious challenge in a century--Covid-19--and chaos erupted. But despite this historic crisis, human beings responded with love. Across the globe, people sought to connect, whether in person from a socially distant six feet or via a screen from 10,000 miles away.
Into this moment, Tim Shriver saw an opportunity for those hungry for community to come together, to answer a call to unite. A call to heal, to hope, to rebuild. So he asked spiritual and religious leaders, artists, entertainers and others, to share messages of inspiration, transformation, and hope.
Featuring stories and insights from DeVon Franklin, Elizabeth Gilbert, Krista Tippett, Simon Sinek, Suze Orman, and Arianna Huffington among many others, The Call to Unite will offer readers a tangible book of wisdom to turn to in times of darkness. Here, readers will find calls to action, prayers, poems, spiritual teachings, and lessons to live by that will stand the test of time.
Those seeking expressions of affirmation, solace, and inspiration need only look to the pages within for guidance in finding the light amidst any crisis. We must embrace each other to amplify the strength, power, and grit intrinsic to the global community that unites us all. Only together can we be our best. Tim Shriver is the long-time Chairman of Special Olympics, bestselling author, founding force of the social and emotional learning (SEL) movement, film producer, husband, and father.
