Forgiving and Reconciling

Forgiving and Reconciling
Bridges to Wholeness and Hope
Worthington, Everett L.

List Price: $15.00
Available at the Publisher's website

Psychologist and counselor Everett Worthington, the leading Christian researcher on forgiveness, says that forgiving is a gift we give to others. Offering forgiveness to others as an altruistic gift is more effective than forgiving only for our own benefit in an effort to “get over” the hurt. True forgiveness is accomplished through a careful process of understanding both the offense and the offender and taking active steps to forgiveness. In this insightful and practical book, Worthington provides a five-step model for how to forgive, which he calls the Pyramid Model to REACH Forgiveness. Worthington also narrowed all his research into a four-step Bridge to Reconciliation. Throughout the volume, concrete ways to apply the steps are suggested. Worthington shows the reader how to get back on track after temporary setbacks. This book, previously published as Five Steps to Forgiveness, has been fully revised to make clear the scriptural foundations of Christian forgiveness. Biblical, authoritative, and pastorally sound, this guide can help anyone who wants to find the freedom of forgiveness.
