Description
In this workbook, Dr. Worthington shares from his decades of experience to go beyond the expected spiritual admonitions to address many aspects of forgiveness not typically considered:
- A look at “forgiveness heroes,” both biblical and contemporary;
- What scientific research teaches about forgiveness;
- Self-tests to measure your level of forgiveness;
- Alternatives to try when you just can’t bring yourself to forgive someone;
- How to reduce your “injustice gap”;
- A proven method to help those who need self-forgiveness;
- And much more.
After a rift in a relationship, it’s impossible for one person to resolve it alone. If neither person is willing to bestow or receive forgiveness, the relationship remains strained indefinitely. But if you choose to grant and/or accept forgiveness, much of the emotional weight is lifted. Forgiveness is freeing. Despite the choices other people make, you can not only endure the unavoidable conflicts of life, but you can even learn to flourish.
