This review is from: Caring Enough to Forgive: True Forgiveness (Paperback)

Caring Enough to Forgive/Caring Enough to Not Forgive. Here is an awesome, AWESOME Christian based, and very biblically sound book that EVERY Christian should read. It pointedly defines the differences between genuine and false forgiveness, and demonstrates how to forgive effectively, without causing or denying further hurt or resentment, and without "cooling" the relationship. A MUST PURCHASE FOR ANY CHIRSTIAN SEEKING TO HAVE POSITIVE, PEACEFUL, HEALTHY, FLOWING RELATIONSHIPS WITH OTHERS.

This review is from: Caring Enough to Forgive: True Forgiveness (Paperback)

Have you ever wanted to forgive but not been able to release? Have you ever not been forgiven? This book really guides you through the Christian steps and the frail human realities of wounded feelings and how to repair the damage. Most powerful are the examples when it's not right to forgive and why...

This review is from: Caring Enough to Forgive--Caring Enough Not to Forgive (Paperback)

This book is OUT OF PRINT ??? WHAT!!! No way! Unbelievable. Helped me to heal from a serious, SERIOUS emotional/spiritual wound from a false accusation. However, this book CLARIFIES that just because you STILL hurt, that does not mean that you HAVE NOT forgiven. You may have. Healing just takes time. Some times, a long time.
