Hanging on to pain can cause problems in YOUR life. - Rated
If you have trouble with emotional intimacy you may need to get rid of some excess baggage. Don't let a past offense ruin your future. The offender need not ask for forgiveness in order for you to forgive. Forgiving is a gift you give yourself - PEACE. The offender may never know that you've forgiven but YOU will feel the difference. You may have to try again and again - we are only human, but the journey will give you a taste of heaven here on earth.

An enlightening and inspiring study of Forgiveness. - Rated
We have all been wounded by those we love at some time. We all know the pain of disappointment, injustice, betrayal. In the midst of our pain we cannot fully understand the nature of our feelings of loss, anger or even hatred. Nor are we capable of fathoming the nature of the process by which our most intimate bonds to those we love are sometimes destroyed. Lewis B. Smede's book is more than a mere intellectual journey into the psychology of our hurts. It is a thoughtful and insightful study of the only true medicine for our deepest wounds: Forgiveness. It appeals not only to the mind but also to the spirit. It is a wonderful companion for anyone who is suffering the loss of a cherished relationship, unable to reconcile the injustice or futility of such loss. And for those fortunate few who do not have a grieving heart, it will offer challenging insights into our most intimate emotions. This is a book whose audience is humanity as well as the reader.
