""During my boxing career, you did not see the real Muhammad Ali.
You just saw a little boxing. You saw only a part of me. After I
retired from boxing my true work began. I have embarked on a
journey of love.""
So Muhammad Ali begins this spiritual memoir, his description of
the values that have shaped and sustained him and that continue to
guide his life. In "The Soul of a Butterfly" the great champion
takes readers on a spiritual journey through the seasons of life,
from childhood to the present, and shares the beliefs that have
served him well.
After fighting some of the fiercest bouts in boxing history
against Joe Frazier and George Foreman, today Muhammad Ali faces
his most powerful foe -- outside the boxing ring. Like many people,
he battles an illness that limits his physical abilities, but as he
says, "I have gained more than I have lost....I have never had a
more powerful voice than I have now." Ali reflects on his faith in
God and the strength it gave him during his greatest challenge,
when he lost the prime years of his boxing career because he would
not compromise his beliefs. He describes how his study of true
Islam has helped him accept the changes in his life and has brought
him to a greater awareness of life's true purpose. As a United
Nations "Messenger of Peace," he has traveled widely, and he
describes his 2002 mission to Afghanistan to heighten public
awareness of that country's desperate situation, as well as his
more recent meeting with the Dalai Lama.
Ali's reflections on topics ranging from moral courage to belief
in God to respect for those who differ from us will inspire and
enlighten all who read them. Written with the assistance of his
daughter Hana, "The Soul of a Butterfly" is a compassionate and
heartfelt book that will provide comfort for our troubled times.
