Forgiveness: The Choice That Sets You Free
Forgiveness is one of the most difficult things you may ever have to face. But it’s also one of the most important and rewarding things you can do.
Author and health educator, Debbie Barr, explains the high price we pay to our mental, emotional, and physical wellbeing when we cling to resentment, bitterness, and thoughts of revenge. Writing with compassion and understanding, she shares her own experience with forgiveness and stories from others who have made the choice to forgive. She shows how forgiveness can bring peace of mind, self-respect, and the kind of wellbeing that God wants us to have. Forgiving others is what God requires of us―and the more atrocious the offense, the more we need his help to do the hard work of forgiveness.
This book will help you understand what forgiveness really is, and what it’s not, and how to know when you’ve truly forgiven someone. Making the brave choice to forgive can benefit us in amazing ways―in fact, it sets us free!

This is one of a million books about forgiveness. Ok, Maybe I am exaggerating a bit, but there are a lot out there. What sets this book apart is its relative brevity, getting to the point quickly while still providing actionable steps for different types of forgiveness. The book is very well-written and organized.
As can be expected within books about forgiveness, there is a religious undertone that flows throughout the book. I never felt truly slapped in the face by it, though it is sometimes brought to the forefront more often than others. The overall content, though, is applicable to all who find themselves unable to forgive others, or especially themselves.
