Conditional Forgiveness: When it’s Good to Say “I don’t forgive you”

by Ethan E. Harris

A better understanding of repentance and forgiveness will inevitably lead to the healing of unnecessary fractures that we have created, and unfortunately, we have many times done so in the name of Christ. And yes, this also has implications and applications for church splits, charges of heresy in our midst, but most importantly, those little quibbles we often love to have with one another.

I think this book questions a topic that has never been questioned before. It is a touchy subject but really its reality. Even the most Christian of people may feel they cannot or will not forgive someone depending on the circumstances. I really enjoyed reading this book, it did make me upset at points and made me question the author, but in the end I really understand what he is getting at and it is an important topic. I highly recommend this read!

I'm very interested in feedback of people who've read it. I'm trying to avoid the review-flamers that respond to titles or names instead of the contents of a book and figured Goodreads might be a good place to start.

I enjoyed researching the topic. I had to add some editing to this title, so the publication date shows up as April even though the book wasn't ready until a few weeks ago. I also apologize for the textual errors in the sample on Goodreads. The physical book does not contain those errors.

Thanks for reading! Enjoy!
