5.0 out of 5 stars What I was feeling is okay!, July 16, 2001

This review is from: Forgiveness: How to Make Peace With Your Past and Get on With Your Life (Paperback)

I purchased this book on a wednesday and had it finished by sunday. I couldn't put it down, it had covered many of the feelings I was going through and it made me not feel so alone in my battle to get on with life. It has many techniques that I was reluctant at first to try, but I am glad I did. I honestly didn't realize I had issues with so many people rather they were big or small it didn't matter. They still hurt me regardless. I can accept that now. When the book sets the stage for all the phases you go through to reach forgivness I found myself a little bit in each one along the way.

I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is merely questioning what is causing or creating a certain feeling. It expounded on feelings that I had but could not describe adequatly enough to begin dealing with them.

Thank you to the authors.

This is an incredible book! Take the time to complete the exercises, you will not be sorry. Some of the tasks seemed mundane but when I was finished, I felt lighter. For me, this book was more effective that 5 years of psycho-therapy combined with anti-depressants. I have FINALLY achieved freedom from my childhood traumas!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Genuine, clear and very helpful!, September 16, 1999

This review is from: Forgiveness: How to Make Peace With Your Past and Get on With Your Life (Paperback)

The author writes in a very clear and unpretentious manner. He simply states what is and what is necessary to heal. In a uncomplicated and genuine tone Dr. Simon makes you feel that there is hope and your aren't a bad person for being 'stuck'. I read the book as voraciously as I wouold have a novel finding compassion for myself as I read. It is very simply a great book.
