Perhaps you still remember the moment, the time of day, the look in the other person’s eye, when you were deeply hurt by someone you trusted. And since then your life has been put on hold, sabotaged by harbored resentment, dreams of revenge, or perhaps indifference and numbness. Or it may be just the “stuff” of every day life and relationships that has left you with a knot in your stomach and a dull ache in your heart. There are no magic words or secret formulas for forgiveness. But there are biblical principles that can help you break free from bitterness and pain. In Choosing Forgiveness, celebrated teacher Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth delves into God’s word to uncover the promises and expose the myths of forgiveness. Discover specific strategies for putting God’s grace and mercy into practice, forgiving others as God has forgiven you. Break choose forgiveness.

This is the best book I have read on the subject of forgiveness. The author does a great job of painting a picture of Biblical forgiveness using scripture. She acknowledges the reality of hurts that exist, the bitterness that can take root and the healing that can take place. I am working on forgiving some past hurts and this book is both convicting and encouraging.
The application and exposition of Biblical forgiveness are clearly laid out. We are then faced with how we choose to use and apply those clear truths to our lives. Freedom or bitterness are the two extremes with a whole lot of practical examples laid out to guide the reader to face realities in their own life that need to be dealt with as appropriate.
One of the books I have read so far on Forgiveness! It’s very encouraging to for me to read since I have been battling with forgiveness from past hurts! I am definitely going to read this again!
