5.0 out of 5 stars Highly Recommended and very timely! October 13, 1998

By A Customer

Format:Paperback

As with all great books, it is not so much what is written, but where it leads you. And this book leads the reader(if they are ready)on the first steps of a wonderful journey where one can lovingly let go of what is holding us back from being who we really are.In that discovery we can find out the answers to those elusive questions,"Who am I?" "What am I here for?" Believe me this journey can be a little confronting in the beginning and if one is not ready to let go of one's garbage I can see where some people may react negatively. I was so impressed with the results in my life, I hired the author to come up to our company and do the two day workshop with all our staff. It was the best thing we could have done. The changes in over 50 people have been genuine and positively impacted our business.Personally I would recommend the workshop, the book is great but I feel the opportunity for spiritual growth is limited in reading a book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really works! December 1, 2002

By Reverend Paula

Format:Paperback

Although there is a lot of material here that I have already incorporated into my spiritual life, there were three key things that helped me tremendously. 1. You can't "force" yourself to forgive...it just doesn't work...and it won't work until you're ready -- and that's OK. 2. It's OK to be angry -- just don't let it become addictive; and it's ok to express anger -- as long as it is done in a cleansing, healing manner; and 3. Freeing that "wounded" part of yourself that has been kept deep inside you for a long time. It's really up to you. It's your choice to forgive yourself for giving away your personal power...or it's your choice to remain in a state of pain and sorrow. Make the choice to forgive yourself -- you will find out just how free and powerful you become!

5.0 out of 5 stars A superb technique to change your life July 28, 2003

By Eclectic reader

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

As a Unity minister who has been on the "path" for years, I didn't expect to find much new or valuable in this book. But I certainly did. Ideas came "alive" that formerly had been interesting concepts, but not REAL and practical.

Since everything is actually happening "now", conscious actions chosen today can heal both Present problems and patterns created by events in the "Past". Traumatic events have powerful emotions attached. These emotions form patterns that create similar events and feelings over and over again in your life. Unfortunately, many of these patterns were formed when you were a child, so they're usually wrong and downright dangerous. Yet they repeat the same situations wearing new costues. They distort our present.

Normally we like to blame others for all our problems. We dearly love to tell everyone how we have been victimized. "He done me wrong!" is a world class theme.

However,If you can recognize a new possibility, a startlingly different way to view things, a way to see events from another dimension, ...or even if you are only WILLING to TRY a new approach - you can abolish your "victim role"forever. You can recast yourself as a "Winner"in life.

When you use the simple technique of Radical Forgiveness, you release enormous quantities of energy that were trapped in maintaining your original negative patterns. This liberated energy then surges through your life, flowing into new positive patterns that create success and love.

Parents can use Redical Forgiveness as a tool to free their children from traumas that otherwise would ruin their lives. Lovers can REALLY forgive each other and love even more.... People who have made horrendous mistakes in their lives can see how these can be "redeemed" and seen as gifts.

This book is one of the clearest explanations of Life that I have eve read. It is a blessing. KNOW the Truth, and you,re freed!" Read more ›

3.0 out of 5 stars Good lessons, Distracting philosophies February 8, 2010

By John Chancellor TOP 500 REVIEWERVINE™ VOICE

Format:Paperback|Amazon Vine™ Review (What's this?)

I found it very difficult to concentrate on the core message of the book because of the distracting philosophies presented.

First I believe that Colin has some very great ideas about forgiving. I can understand and accept the message about anger, hate and other feelings we hang on to cause much of our physical and emotional problems and lead to illness.

There are some very powerful lessons about how we play the victim role, how we want to be right, how we need to be validated. And our need to be right often creates or increases the problems in our lives. We often attract those who are a mirror of what we don't like about ourselves.

And even though he says Radical Forgiveness works whether you believe his assumptions or not, I still have some trouble getting past his assumptions. He is very honest and straightforward in his beliefs. He shares his assumptions but does not offer any proof on them in this book.

One of his assumptions is that the soul lives before and after the body. That our soul chooses to be born and chooses who the parents will be. Because of our past lives, we come into this life with certain problems and that fate brings people into our lives to help us solve the problem. He further believes that the soul forgets everything about past lives at a conscious level but retains knowledge at the subconscious level.

I do believe that a lot of what is taught in this book can bring about healing of the body and soul. However unless you are willing to overlook those things that you do not agree with or can totally embrace his philosophy and assumptions, you will probably be too distracted to see the value of the lessons.... Even if you see and agree with the good points, some people will find the assumptions so distracting that they will only focus on what they disagree with.

If you cannot approach this book with a totally open mind, then do not even begin it. On the other hand, if you are comfortable with the core assumptions, you will probably find lots of value in the book.

If you can get past the philosophies, he gives you a worksheet for applying Radical Forgiveness to your own life. Read more ›
