5.0 out of 5 stars Teaches us to forgive ourselves!, January 12, 2002

By 

"dabblingmum" (Wisconsin) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Gift Of Forgiveness (Hardcover)

This book was given to me by a friend when my daughter died, as I could not forgive myself, my husband, or God; and as time grew so did my bitterness for life and towards others. This book offered me a chance to heal at my own rate, instead of lashing out at others who offered help. I would often make comments, while reading, like, 'Yeah right! Who are you kidding! I have every right to be a -----!' Over time, and upon highlighting and re-reading this book, my heart began to change.

Mr. Charles Stanley is very straight forward and honest in his writing. It seems that he holds nothing back. He offers steps to help us forgive ourselves and others, based on biblical principles and he offers us reassurance and comfort such as, 'Regardless of what you have done, you have not stretched God beyond his limits. His love knows no limits.

5.0 out of 5 stars God wants us to forgive, August 25, 1999

By 

[e-mail] (Ohio. USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Gift Of Forgiveness (Hardcover)

Dr Stanley brought us the fact that we have to forgive one another. God wants us to forgive like He does. This book taught us how to deal with bitterness using the most powerful tool, which is forgiveness. Dr Stanley has done a great great job to illustrate the meaning of forgiveness. Moreover, He told us the steps to begin forgiving others! This book is a must. See the benefit of being forgiven. We just can't forgive others if we don't realize that God forgives us first.
