To Forgive Is Human: How to Put Your Past in the Past

Forgiving can be one of the hardest things we'll ever do. The authors show how you can experience authentic forgiveness in ways that bring restoration and healing. They cover topics such as why, when you forgive it doesn't seem to last; why we can't forgive by forgetting; what it means to forgive yourself; how we can gain empathy for those who have hurt us, and much more.
