Forgiveness is an essential part of being a Christian. But what do we do when confronted with the unforgivable--an act that shakes our moral foundations to their roots, often committed by someone... This description may be from another edition of this product.
I have never read a book that touched me the way that this one did. I finally understand what TRUE forgiveness is and who it really benefits, me not the offender. I think the book started slow and then picked up speed but I am willing to believe that I started understanding slow and then picked up speed in understanding. What a gentle book so easy to understand. I am buying copies for friends and families and will suggest it to my Pastor as a book club selection. I will read this book again and again.
Forgiving the Unforgivable - Unbelievable!

This is the best book I have read in a long time. Having been hurt by the church, I did not know if this book would help but I was desperate. This makes each of the steps you incur very plain and provides scripture to back them. I will be giving this book to many people in my lifetime as they experience hurts, it is the BEST of many, many resources I purchased on the topic.
Are some things Unforgivable?

"I do not forgive you!" is the thought that burst into my mind as I was forced to consider those who had hurt me in the past. This book challenged me to realize my anger, experience the sadness of what was lost and take a step toward forgiveness for the first time. I plan to give this book to everyone I have ever wronged in hopes they will learn enough to be able to forgive me and hopefully we can all learn to forgive ourselves-this concept was completely foreign to me, truly amazing! Thank you Dr. Stoop you may have helped save my life!
What a beautiful book.

I purchased this book after going through a difficult time with my loved ones, family, friends, but mostly myself. How could I possibly forgive others, when it was myself who I needed to forgive first? Chapter by chapter this book uses analogies and spiritual guidelines needed for one to grow within one's self. It was easy reading, yet never boring. I found this book to be one of the most useful tools I have and will keep in my possesion, for discovering and living the spiritual path of forgiving.
Excellent Teaching on Forgiveness

This is the best book I've read on the topic of forgiveness. The author has a gift of teaching the reader that it is possible to forgive even the worst of offenses. The chapter on Forgiving Yourself helped me a lot too.
