Publisher's Synopsis
The concept and work of forgiveness is foundational to a Christian walk. We all need it. However, in our culture today with the dumbing down of sin and the cheap grace offered in so many places, forgiveness has also been cheapened. On a spectrum from those who don't need it, to those who recognize the essential nature of it and any place in between, we should and in fact need to understand forgiveness. This is in how to receive it and what receiving that forgiveness means as well as how to give it and what sacrifice that requires of us personally. How do we forgive the unforgiveable? Am I unforgiveable? When Jesus says, if you do not forgive, you will not be forgiven, what does that mean? This book deals with those questions and more. It includes a study guide to help you through each part of the process.
