As We Forgive

Experience God-given healing with everyday forgiveness. Many of us were taught at a young age to say, "I'm sorry," and quickly move on, but real healing takes more than a simple apology. Too often, we grow up learning to bottle up hurt and skip over difficult feelings that are a part of the human experience given to us by God. This book offers a fresh view of forgiveness--not as a forced ritual or process, but as a gentle, daily practice of hope and healing. It is a biblical exploration of forgiveness as a spiritual practice for individual, social (communal), and political healing. While most people know forgiveness is a process, As We Forgive presents a practical path toward letting go, reconnecting, and living with resilience. In this book, you will explore: -What Forgiveness is Not -The Tenents of Forgiveness -Where Does It Hurt -Self-Forgiveness -Granting and Receiving Forgiveness -Relationship Goals In addition to the book, other study components include a Leader Guide and DVD.
