Editorial Reviews

Product Description

How can individuals live a life of forgiveness in a world so full of injustice and indifference? This haunting question spurred author Kent Nerburn to write Calm Surrender. The book looks at the life of an elderly woman mistreated by the healthcare system, a Native American desperate to keep the memories of the old ways alive, a woman singing softly over the grave of her young son. As the author recounts the experiences of people who have suffered much and asked for little, he takes readers on a moving journey.

5.0 out of 5 stars From another writer, August 6, 2005
Kent Nerburn's wisdom books are like fine brandy. They are for slow sipping from a crystal sniffter, allowing the vintage to warm the soul. Calm Surrender addresses the most critical spiritual need our generation faces in this strange and violent land, the need to forgive and be forgiven. Growing up in a Southern family which still talked about the "late war of Northern aggression," I learned that "forgive" was the real f-word. Yet holding onto anger is like drinking poison and expencting those we resent to die. Nerburn grasps this nettle firmly and leads us gently to a more sane way of approaching the world.

Kent Nerburn is a wonderful, prolific writer! Whatever he writes the reader feels good inside. Kent is a spiritual and thoughtful author. He knows the world needs more understanding and calm surrender! I recommend all of his books to everyone.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Power and Difficulty of True Forgiveness, July 23, 2009
By Jeremy Garber "urbanmenno" (Denver, CO United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A beautiful, short but challenging book about real forgiveness and the power that it possesses. Nerburn challenges both those who pretend that life is all essentially goodness and light, and those whose anger burns too hot (even in the name of justice) to truly make the world a better place. He takes on the challenge of slavery, of a child's untimely death, of the Exxon Valdez oil spill, and in every case recommends the hard work of honest forgiveness, of not meeting shadow with shadow but of moving imperfectly toward the light so that its glimmer, however faint, can continue to shine.
