Forgiving Yourself: Why You Must, How You Can

by Robert H. Lauer, Jeanette C. Lauer

According to the Lauers, forgiving yourself can be the most difficult kind of forgiveness to practice, yet not forgiving yourself can be corrosive to your well-being. Self-forgiveness is the natural corollary to God's forgiveness. The main focus of the book is the steps we can take to allow God's forgiveness into our lives and relationships. Filled with stories, examples, and encouragement, it dispels some common myths about self-forgiveness. The Lauers pave the way for the reality that self-forgiveness is an act of love toward yourself, and show how to rid yourself of destructive and unwarranted anger and guilt in order to restore your sense of self-worth as a child of God.
