You -- Love yourself unconditionally. It all starts here -- Speak truthfully. It will set you free -- Travel lightly. Downsize the burdens you carry -- You and your posse -- Show kindness and affection wildly. Make fierce love real -- Confront boldly. Transform your circumstances with moral courage -- Think inclusively. They're your people too! -- You and the world -- Live justly. Choose fairness and equality every day -- Find joy daily. It is the water of life -- Believe assiduously. Have faith in love.

"Inspired by the Ubuntu philosophy 'I am who I am because we are who we are' and explained through stories from her own life and those of her mentors and inspirations, Rev. Dr. Lewis details the nine daily practices necessary for transforming ourselves, our communities, and our world at large. From learning to put down our emotional baggage to speaking truth to power to fueling our activism with joy, Rev. Dr. Lewis gives readers a renewed sense of the power they have to create caring communities; to stand up for the vulnerable; and to change our shared human story from one of anxiety, anger, and divisiveness to one of mindfulness, compassion, and unity. 'Fierce Love' is a manifesto for all generations, a universalist's vision for mending our broken hearts and fractured world."--From publisher.
