Publisher's summary

Number one New York Times best seller

You deserve to stop suffering because of what other people have done to you.

Have you ever felt stuck in a cycle of unresolved pain, playing offenses over and over in your mind? You know you can't go on living like this, but you don't know what to do next. Lysa TerKeurst has wrestled through this journey. But in surprising ways, she’s discovered how to let go of bound-up resentment and overcome the resistance to forgiving people who aren’t willing to make things right.

With deep empathy, therapeutic insight, and rich Bible teaching coming out of more than 1,000 hours of theological study, Lysa will help you:

  • Learn how to move on when the other person refuses to change and never says they're sorry.
  • Walk through a step-by-step process to free yourself from the hurt of your past and feel less offended today.
  • Discover what the Bible really says about forgiveness and the peace that comes from living it out right now.
  • Identify what's stealing trust and vulnerability from your relationships so you can believe there is still good ahead.
  • Disempower the triggers hijacking your emotions by embracing the two necessary parts

Incredible

The content of this is God-breathed and absolutely incredible. I love that though her story includes adultery, much like people seeking this book for direction, it speaks to heartaches of all shapes and sizes!

Must read for those who have been betrayed!!

This book hit home. If you have been affected by infidelity and betrayed, you will find this book especially helpful. Lisa has a gift of being able to break things down and explain them in a very comforting way. Her words resonate and gives one a sense of sympathy that makes one realize that there are many who share the same circumstances and the same trauma. But Lisa also provides a way to turn that around and help one heal. This is bible based, so I found that especially helpful. However, if you do not believe in God, this book is still a good resource. I highly recommend.

Mirror of Myself

I so much appreciate listening to “Forgiving What You Can’t Forget” so much of my hurt and pain seems to mirror your struggles of hurt and pain. The pain and hurt you felt and how when you thought you were over feeling so much of the hurt and pain it only took one small thing to trigger you and bring it all back as if it never left and it all just started. My pain seems to have a choke hold on my heart squeezing the life out of me. But I want to thank you and most importantly thank God for leading me to listen to your audio. To know that someone not only understands my struggle through so much pain, hurt, discomfort, and to have felt what I am now feeling and to know that you have been able to come out victoriously gives me hope. Thank you!

Incredible Wisdom and Insight!

Although my life situation is so different, so many of the examples and experiences that Lysa shares are valuable to me on how I can navigate through painful struggles of past hurts, forgiveness and moving on. Thank you for being so raw and open with your life so we can learn from your pain. Wow! I have listened twice AND bought a hard copy! Learned so much life application from this book!
