No relationship can survive without the ability to forgive, but sometimes we are hurt so deeply or so often that forgiveness appears impossible. This collection of inspirational true stories demonstrate the healing power of forgiveness through ordinary people's experiences of war, crime, terrorism, betrayal, relationship breakdown and the uncertainty of life's path. Aimed at both individual reflection and group study, each story is followed by thoughts from a practitioner or church leader, which can be used to open a conversation about what you've just read, and questions to help you think about the wider issues raised. Wherever you are in your life right now, this uplifting and practical book will encourage you to think about your own experience of forgiveness - how you might make this gift an everyday part of your life, let go of pain, restore relationships and live your life to the full.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49584298557713,"sku":"GOR006162297","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51765414297873,"sku":"GOR006181036","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1841017396.jpg?v=1751420968"},{"product_id":"believe-in-miracles-book-carmel-thomason-9780857464200","title":"Believe in Miracles","description":"Believe in Miracles is a 40-day journey that will open your eyes to the extraordinary to be found in the everyday. Focusing on small practical steps, you are invited to follow a series of short exercises that will help bring about lasting changes in your life, leading to a more prayerful, contented and connected state of being. By setting aside as little as 20 minutes a day, you will learn to view differently your daily circumstances, your relationship with God, and your relationships with others, bringing something of the ways of heaven to earth. As Carmel Thomason writes in her introduction: ‘We all want to experience love, wonder, beauty, joy, and creativity, yet our reality is often something very different. We would like to feel more connected to ourselves, to God and to other people, but often we can’t see how this could be possible. Wherever you are in your spiritual journey right now, it’s OK. God meets us where we are; all he asks is that we show up for our part. The miracle of the day is already yours; the adventure begins when you’re open to experience it fully.’","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49587437928721,"sku":"GOR008515412","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49606721143057,"sku":"GOR008028539","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0857464205.jpg?v=1750883833"},{"product_id":"every-moment-counts-book-carmel-thomason-9780232528374","title":"Every Moment Counts","description":"Mary Butterwick, OBE, lost her husband, John to cancer in March 1979. At that time there was no support network in the North East for those suffering from life-limiting illnesses and no real advice and support for the family they left behind. Mary found John's loss very hard to bear and believed there had to be a better way to help families facing a similar situation.  At the time when she started campaigning for better palliative care, Mary was a 54 year old widow who worked part-time in a tea factory. She had no medical background and no influential friends, but she believed in the power of love, recognised the importance of our smallest actions and had strength to speak her mind and take action against injustice. Today Butterwick Hospice Care helps up to 200 patients and their families each day, with two dedicated adult hospice units and a children’s unit.  Mary Butterwick is proof that one person, no matter what age or circumstances can make a difference – can help to create a better world.  An inspirational true story, written by journalist (and close friend of Mary) Carmel Thomason, .","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49588661813521,"sku":"GOR003291187","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0232528373.jpg?v=1750813239"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-carmel-thomason.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
