Book Review: Forgiving What You Can't Forget

Are you waiting on someone to say they're sorry? Are you lost in resentful feelings over being wronged? Are you hung-up or stuck on whether to forgive someone? Maybe even at a crossroads of forgiving yourself?

Author and President of Proverbs 31 Ministries, Lysa TerKeurst walks hand in hand, tear by tear with readers. Through family brokenness, a cancer journey and more, Biblical teaching and practices are her focus while bringing you into the coziest of living rooms with her heart. Lysa's raw and incredibly honest portrayal of challenge comes through as though you're the closest of friends and she is entrusting you with the details and power to judge. This book is for all who have been on either side of forgiveness.

As the world spins and we shuffle, it's easy to lose focus on the truth of why we're called to forgive. Simply, it's because we are forgiven. Not in a, "Yeh, I forgive you now but don't cross me again" kind of way, but rather a deep rooted, "I paid the cost of your brokenness" forgiveness. We are heirs to the forgiveness that holds no resentment or retaliation and when we acknowledge the grandiosity of our sins, how can we still choose un-forgiveness?

Church, let Jesus set your soul free today.
