In God's Hands is the 2015 Archbishop of Canterbury's Lent Book. It is
a meditation on the infinite love of God and the infinite value of the
human individual. Not only are we in God's hands, says Desmond Tutu,
our names are engraved on the palms of God's hands. Throughout an
often turbulent life, Archbishop Tutu has fought for justice and
against oppression and prejudice. As we learn in this book, what has
driven him forward is an unshakeable belief that human beings are
created in the image of God and are infinitely valuable. Each one of
us is a God-carrier, a tabernacle, a sanctuary of the Divine Trinity.
God loves us not because we are loveable but because he first loved
us. And this turns our values upside down. In this sense, the Gospel
is the most radical thing imaginable. It is extremely moving that in
this book Archbishop Tutu returns to something so simple and so
profound after a life in which he has been involved in political,
social, and ethical issues that have seemed to be so very complex.
