Struggling with Forgiveness by David Self

Struggling with Forgiveness by David Self

Can forgiveness be a creative way of breaking the cycle of bitterness, revenge, and violence? How do Christ's life, passion, death, and resurrection help us understand that we are forgiven? These first-hand stories reflect the tremendous range of our experience of forgiveness: conflict in families and at work; events that remain private and that shake whole societies, from Canada to Ireland to Africa.

We read of struggles to be forgiven, to forgive another, to forgive oneself; struggles of faith and courage to carry on. The stories are powerful. There is such pain, such richness, such possibility for release and healing.
