Total Forgiveness [Paperback]

R. T. Kendall (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: August 21, 2007

R.T. Kendall has given us a treasure…the hope and possibility of experiencing incredible freedom and peace that can only come when we walk in total forgiveness.

 

One of the core messages of the gospel is that of total forgiveness…not only that we can be totally forgiven by God, but also that we must, in turn, totally forgive others. Our culture is bound up in bitterness, resentment, and wallowing in wounds inflicted upon us by others, wounds that we all too easily accept and even cling to!

 

This revised and updated best seller lovingly challenges believers to look within and root out those hidden and hardened places where subtle resentments and areas of un-forgiveness have been allowed to remain.

5.0 out of 5 stars Life-changing reading January 2, 2004

By "drken47"

Format:Paperback

As a medical doctor, one of the most important problems that I encounter among my patients is that of bitterness, resentment,and unforgiveness. It is a major reason why people don't heal. This book offers extremely practical information and refer many of my patients to it for reading. It is the best book that I have seen on the subject of forgiveness and I highly recommend it to everyone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Insight March 24, 2003

By William Powell

Format:Paperback

This book has totally changed my life. RT Kendall offers an amazing piece of work that, as you discover from the book, was born out of his own personal experience. The book is full of practical teaching about what our misconceptions of forgiveness are and what true Godly forgiveness is. This is not a book that tries to being a complex formula to forgiveness but rather it tries to explain from biblical concepts the importance of choosing to forgive those who have hurt us and our loved ones. I read it on the recommendation of a friend and have been thoroughly blessed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just what HE had in mind March 2, 2003

By A Customer

Format:Paperback

This is an awesome book. R.T. Kendall goes beyond just forgiveness here. He shows us how God not only wants us to forgive, but to take it to the next level which is to bless those we have forgiven. He provides insight to why we may be holding grudges and understanding to why some people have difficulty in forgiving and how we can handle it. I definitely will re-read this one over and over.

5.0 out of 5 stars Total Forgiveness January 30, 2003

By A Customer

Format:Paperback

At first I thought, what more can they say about forgiveness? Well, lots! I would title this book, "Total Forgiveness, Your Final Acid Test". It is excellent! Very thought provoking.

5.0 out of 5 stars 2nd best book I've ever read. August 25, 2003

By A Customer

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

I can't praise this book highly enough. This is not an easy book to read. Kendall warns that it is harder than climbing Mount Everest than to forgive, but it is so worth it.

This book recaptures some of the power that utterly transformed the brutal roman world some 2,000 years ago. If your spiritual life is tied up in knots, this book will point you to the power than can liberate beyond what you can imagine.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Forgiveness--as God would have us to learn forgiveness..." May 29, 2004

By A Customer

Format:Paperback

Forgiveness today is often defined in shallow terms and trite metaphors. It is not always forgiveness as God sees it.

Kendall teaches us true forgiveness-forgiveness as God forgives. The author's insight is profound, and his foundation is the Word of God. We would expect nothing less from the writer of one of the finest Joseph commentaries ever written, and that story is THE story of forgiveness. (Only "With Joseph in the University of Adversity" is possibly better, IF you can find it!)

The key to Kendall's (and God's) forgiveness is forgiving not only the action against an offended party, but also the offender himself--sometimes, as in Joseph's case, no easy task.

I recommend this book without reservation, and also Kendall's work on Joseph.

5.0 out of 5 stars Forgiveness March 13, 2006

By Dwight Foote

Format:Paperback

I am about a third of the way through the book. R.T. does a first class work on forgiveness. He carries you right along with him. The way that he writes has lead me to realize areas in my life that still need work. The great thing is that he has not left me hanging. He has also plainly pointed out how to work and resolve my unforgiveness. Until we really come to grips with how real sin really is we cannot truly heal - Totally Forgive.

I can hardly put the book down now that I have started it.

Highly recommend the book

God Bless.

5.0 out of 5 stars Freedom from the chain of unforgiveness - Totally!! August 24, 2006

By John T. Reed Jr.

Format:Paperback

This book was required reading for my Bachelor's Degree at the Midwest Bible College of Milwaukee and it changed my life. I can't stop witnessing to others on the subject of Total Forgiveness. This book does an excellent job of explaining the subject and the concequences of unforgiveness. I often recommend this book to others. It's so awesome to be set free, like I was after I read this book, from the "chain" of the enemy's secret weapon, unforgiveness. Read this book, totally forgive and be set free!!
