DESCRIPTION

Maybe you try to push it away. Maybe it consumes you. Maybe you tell yourself, “it's fine,” you're “over it,” or “it's no big deal.” But no matter how you fight it, bitterness holds you back, putting added stress on your body and soul, and weakening your ability to connect with God and others. But forgiveness can help you break free.

Gil Mertz learned the power of forgiveness firsthand when God led him to reconcile with his distant and difficult father. Gil now teaches others the astounding benefits of forgiveness, and how to begin the hard work of actually forgiving. He walks you through each step of the process and helps you identify forgiveness myths, let go of past pain, and rediscover your purpose and hope.

Begin your forgiveness journey today. Your future is waiting.

Each chapter includes:

• Questions for reflection
• suggestions for application
• a forgiveness prayer

PLUS! A 25 Question Forgiveness Evaluation
