Nevertheless: Living Faithfully with What Forgiveness Doesn’t Fix
The church knows what to say to the repent, and be forgiven. It knows what to say to the God is near. It has almost nothing to say to the person who is both.
Michael Whitworth was that person. In 2021, a sin he had hidden for twenty-two years cost him his marriage and his ministry. He went from preaching on Sunday to cutting lawns in Texas, and for a year he believed his life was over.
It was not. But neither was it fixed.
Guilt is a legal problem, and the cross solves it completely. Regret is a history problem, and the cross does not reach back and unmake what happened. Drawing on David, Peter, and John Mark, Nevertheless tells the truth about what forgiveness does, what it does not do, and what God makes of the people who have to live in between.

Received an advanced copy of this book by pre-ordering. I found it to be riveting. So well written, and honestly something the brotherhood desperately needs. A topic that I had not given truthful consideration before now. Go get your copy and read through it with an open mind, heart, and Bible.
