Why Forgive? [Paperback]

InWhy Forgive?Arnold lets the untidy experiences of ordinary people speak for themselves--people who have earned the right to talk about forgiving.

Some of these storiesdeal with violent crime, betrayal, abuse, hate, gang warfare, and genocide. Others address everyday hurts: the wounds caused by backbiting, gossip, conflicts in the home, and tensions in the workplace. The book also tackles what can be the biggest challenge: forgiving ourselves.

These people,who have overcome the cancer of bitterness and hatred, can help you unleash the healing power of forgiveness in your own life.
