4.0 out of 5 starsI'm not Catholic
By Ekko on November 15, 2011
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I'm not Catholic and I'm not a religious person, but I found this book very enlightening. There are definitely passages that are heavy on the Jesus, but I think even athiests can read this and find insight into the meaning and power of compassion.

5.0 out of 5 starsA Primer for the grace of forgiveness
By Donald True on October 13, 2011
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I'v had the privilege of meeting Fr. Scott Hurd and enjoyed a brief conversation with him before publication of his book. Based on my initial impression of Fr. Hurd, I looked forward to reading his book in hopes that it would help me in the most difficult part of my spiritual life; the act of forgiving. His comments on forgiving and forgetting, which is what I get stuck on, was beneficial in that I discovered that, while I could forgive hurts, I could not forget them. Now, I know that is not a barrier to forgiveness and for that insight alone, I am rewarded with studying Forgiveness: A Catholic Approach. This book receives a well deserved five star rating.

5.0 out of 5 starsSet straight the way to forgiveness
By G. Davis on February 16, 2013
Format: Kindle Edition
I have read a few books on forgiveness recently. I know how important it is to forgive not only yourself but others and how the two are interrelated. This book does not only show us why it is important to forgive but gives concrete methods to forgive.
This book is for anyone who is serious about forgiving themselves and others.

5.0 out of 5 starsA comforting, hopeful, joyful read
By Ruth C on August 13, 2013
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
For those dealing with forgiveness at every level of the human experience. Short chapters held my interest and made it possible to pick up this book and read just a few pages on a busy day. Even five minutes of reading this book is encouraging in our struggle to give and accept forgiveness.

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat book about forgiveness
By Mrs. John I. Ghawaly on May 17, 2013
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
This is a great book because it helps a person to see that by continuing to be unforgiving, the only person one hurts is oneself. People (others) can sense the unforgiveness and turn away. To have a truly happy heart it is best to forgive. That doesn't mean that you have to befriend the person who is cruel to you, it just means that you will forgive and allow peace to reign in your heart. Very much appreciated book.

By Marcey Reilly on January 28, 2015
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
This book was filled with plenty of examples of how to forgive. Forgiveness is a process and will not happen overnight. St. Jane de Chantal was sighted as a saint who struggled with forgiving the man who accidentally killed her husband.
