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

The best book of 2020... or ever

Lysa literally could have been talking about me. Maybe not the exact circumstances, but the thoughts, responses, hurts and learning processes were spot on. This is more than a book on just plain old forgiveness. This is real, raw truth about every piece of real life hurts and how we deal with them. This is also direct and honest about what GOD says about forgiveness, NOT what people say. I've read pretty much all of Lysa's books and this was the most guy wrenching, honest, nod-my-head-in-agreement book she's ever written. Who says God can't take the worst heartache and make good come from it? It's proven right here on the words in this book. Don't miss what is offered here!

This is a book that can change your life!!!

This book was life changing for me!!! I Love self-help books & any other book that encourages us to be the person God intended us to be!!! This is definitely a must read!!!! I really needed to here this book!!!!! My life has been upside down for many years now- I have gone from having much to having absolutely nothing- I walked away from everything when I found out about the severe abuse their father had been doing to them ( threatening if they ever told anyone that he would kill me ( their mom) right in front of them & it would be their fault they no longer had a mom!!! He also threatened their younger siblings lives the same - so needless to say they never spoke of anything- once I found out - I walked away & never looked back - I said I would be 6 ft under before he ever hurt them again - He ( their father) threatened me if I left him selling things just to be able to keep a roof over my kids heads & the utilities on- but I would do it all over again

Phenomenal Book! Must read for ANYONE!

I recommend this book to EVERYONE! It’s not just for those who are currently struggling with forgiveness. This book has so much to offer! The authors story alone kept me wanting to know more! I was in awe of her vulnerability, strength and her faith in God through it all. In addition to her story, her availability to teach and guide you to really dig deep into yourself and your faith is amazing! I have learned so much from this book and will forever be recommending it to others!
