Publisher's summary

Note from the author: I genuinely think this book will help you forgive. We all go through traumas that are unique to ourselves, from child abuse, to being cheating on or being heartbroken from the loss of a loved one. The pain is still real. Everyone has different coping mechanisms, so your pain might seem trivial to the ones around you, but you are the only one that knows how much it really hurts. No one should judge you or compare the pain, as the pain is unique as you are. This book will simply blow your mind, no ifs or buts. We put our money where our mouth is.

So who is this book actually for?

• Anyone that wants to forgive.
• Anyone that wants to understand their lives.
• Anyone that wants to improve their lives.

But more importantly it will help you understand any one that needs the above. The unique approach allows a modern understanding of the secrets of forgiveness and why they are so important.

Created from a first person point of view, it tracks the conversation the writer has with a greater power to understand why he got abused as a child and why it is so important to forgive. His personal struggle demonstrates the difficulty of forgiveness.

Here are some of the important parts of the book.

On the topic of sin: Sin is doing all the things we dream of doing, but we are too scared of doing because we don’t want to go to hell.

Yes, if you “sin” you will end up in hell, so I give you the option of free will to do what you want to do, and then slap you for doing it.

Was that sarcasm?

Yes, it was. I am the creator of light and the bringer of love. Does punishing you for free will sound loving to you? Let's just rearrange how you think about sin. At the time of the sin you enjoy the sin, then you feel guilty about the sin.

Completely different way to view areas of life.

I actually enjoyed it. At first I was skeptical, yet the way it was written was brilliant.

Good Listening

The book had some great tips on forgiveness that anyone can apply to their lives and activities you can do to clear your mind and figure out why you feel the way you do.

Amazing book!

This is an amazing book! It is the only source that I have read that truly acknowledges the suffering of the forgiver. The meditations and journal exercises are nothing short of miraculous.

Hopeful!

This book is so hopeful! It boldly states that no matter what has happened to us we can forgive and stop being ruled by a wrong. And it further empowers us to forgive ourselves, to stop the cycle of blame and shame completely.

Helpful

Very helpful information, I have found forgiveness for my wounds and highly recommend this for people who are stuck in their wounds, I have a new freedom and acceptance.

A Must listen

In a world that has so many divisions this book helps you begin the barriers that are created by pain. We can release our pain.

Great

I would have to say that one of the missing things in our society at large has to do with "Forgiveness." Few people seem to get beyond grudges . . . it's far more important than you know." She was right and this book speaks well to the subject.

Like it

It is a powerful book to listen in community with those and with whom can honestly open and share.

A valuable book for anyone

This book is one I have searched for a very long time. It goes into detail about what it actually feels like to forgive, what forgiveness is and equally importantly, what it is not. It's the first time I've seen laid out a course of action for achieving forgiveness and getting on with the rest of one's life.

Good infro

This was the first book I read on forgiveness, and it gave me some very good insight -- people do the best they can with the info they have at the time. This is the main thing I took away from the book, and I try to keep this in mind.
