5.0 out of 5 stars Forgiveness is the key to a functional relationship, December 3, 2001

By	Randy L May (LoLo, Mt. United States) - See all my reviews

This is a wonderful Bible based guide to being forgiven, forgiving yourself, and forgiving others. Anybody who relates with someone else would benefit from reading this book. God gave us His great Word concealed in the Bible. This is a study, directly from God's Word, on dealing with the pain you have because of what you've done to yourself and others or what someone else has done to you.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is life changing providing hope and comfort, February 23, 2006

By	Loves to read (Chattanooga, Tennessee United States) - See all my reviews

I think this is a great life-changing book and is very easy to understand. The teachings are very to the point but in a comforting way. This book gives you hope when you are at the end of your rope and provides a great way to look at life and shows how to change your life. One book reviewer stated this is a religious book and look around at a world that is full of people trying to do everything by theirselves and what a mess they are making and maybe a religious book is not such a bad thing to read and apply. I think this a wonderful book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great book without the psychobabble!, August 20, 2007

By	Michael F. Gibney "pastorscholar" (Whitehall, PA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book really deals with some probing issues form a "sin" perspective instead of a "disease" perspective. I found it comforting, stinging and helpful. This book deals with your past the way God meant it to be dealt with: by the power of the cross.
