Jack Kornfield
Bantam, 2008
Soul Soothing
This is a great book. Why isn't it in paperback yet???
What a subject. Mr. Kornfield, as a Zen practitioner, takes us through a simple yet very thorough journey to forgiveness.
He makes a clear distinction between forgiving and moving on with your life and forgiving and getting back into the frying pan. I appreciate that because currently in many instances, getting back into the pan ...

LIFECHANGING MUST READ
This book describes what unforgiveness does to a person's life and to all the relationships around them. It gives spiritual and practical clear steps to forgive others and ourselves. We need to be careful of our words because just one sentence can create a wedge in a relationship that lasts for years and the one who made the comment may not know why the other person is suddenly giving them the ...

Total Forgiveness31 reviews
R. T. Kendall
Charisma House, 2007
"Total" forgiveness is more than just saying "I forgive."
I had often thought that forgiveness was something God zapped me with, then He erased the memory of the hurt and I went on my merry way. Kendall's book, "Total Forgiveness", took me on an exhausting journey to learning that forgiveness is a choice I must make, and that I must choose not to remember the hurt, and, above all that, I must pray for God to bless those who hurt me. Oh how I've fallen ...

Forgiveness Is a Choice: A Step-By-Step Process for Resolving Anger and Restoring Hope (Apa Lifetools)18 reviews
Robert D. Enright
American Psychological Association (APA), 2001
Forgiveness Is a Choice
I would recommend this book to anyone who thinks they have an issue with someone that is too big to ever forgive. I was just part way into the book, and its concepts immediately had a transforming effect on me and my anger. It gave me such a different way to look at things, which I'm grateful for. Anger eats us up more than the other person, and it destroys relationships. Read this book if you ...

Thought-provoking!
This is one beautiful story told exceptionally well. Using a series of horrific incidents, the director guides us to a deep understanding of the purpose, the benefit, the need, and the blessing to all concerned of forgiveness. It examines what evil does to the perpetrator and the receiver. But, more importantly, it presents a strong message of hope, recovery, and release that benefits the giver ...

We all need to forgive
Forgiveness is something we must do everyday to live peacefully, however forgiving ourselves is often times the last thing we want or know how to do. This book helps us to understand the dynamics of forgiveness, especially when we have been held captive emotionally from things in our past. Everyone has a "past," it can't be changed, but it can be forgiven enabling us to go forward in our lives. ...

The Freedom and Power of Forgiveness3 reviews
John MacArthur
Crossway Books, 1998
Forgiveness ... Deeper Than You Might Think
This book went far beyond the typical topic of forgiveness. Each chapter seemed to add a broader sense of personal responsibility and accountability.
For instance, "If we would only learn to be more repulsed by our own sin than we are at the wrong others commit against us, we would be well on the road to spiritual health". Page 10. "The real truth is that no one's sins are trivial." Page 13. ...

The opposite of forgiveness is bitterness and anger. Those who anger us control us, and this book offers freedom from that control. Forgiveness clears the heart of anger, vengance, bitterness and hatred - it offers a very liberating, and renewing, experience. Pastor Pritchard touches every heartstring with healing, hope and comfort. I bought the book to share with someone after reading(I ...

Practical Christianity
I sat down with this book and did not get up till I finished it. That is not amazing due to the few pages there are. The amazing part is how my faith, my worldview and my Chrisitanity was so radically changed by such a small book. The Bible is the original text while this book if the Cliff Notes in applying the real Christianity. I now see Jesus in the eyes of the homeless; the prisoner; the ...

A Slow Reveal
Like a flower opening with time-release photography, Victor Chan slowly reveals the character, daily routines, spiritual honesty and generosity of His Holiness the Dali Lama as he travels in Asia and Europe for over three decades (from 1972 upon their first meeting to 2004 when the book was published).

I learned more than I ever wanted to know about myself by reading this book. The friend who gave it to me warned me that I would want to stop reading it. I did have to stop reading a few times and talk it out with her. It gave me an insight into myself and my attitude and definition of forgiveness I had never even imagined before. It has given me very useful tools that work. I will highly ...
