The Process of Healing - Biblical Forgiveness: Real Answers to Real Questions

Who we are is the result of a lifetime of experiences and decisions. Your memories are what control your emotions causing you to remember events from the past. Whether it is mistreatment at the hands of others, emotional traumas, physical and sexual abuses, and more, memories can leave a person hurting for the rest of their life, if the is no change. This book explains the steps toward healing. With clear explanations, this book shows how our memories affect us, how to change its control over us, and what steps are needed for getting healed. As a counselor though, especially when listening to those people who have suffered abuse, assaults, violence, and other horrible traumatic events at the hands of others, especially those who were supposed to love and protect them, I have heard the often unspoken question. “Why do I have so much trouble forgiving those who hurt me?” Often those who utter these words are people who, in their own mind, have made real effort to forgive someone or something but ran up against a seemingly overwhelming obstacle. Many times, they are additionally burdened by foolish preachers and/or teachers, and sometimes uncaring and overbearing “Christians,” who heap guilt onto them for not quickly and easily “forgiving” others. In this small book, you will find answers about forgiveness which work. You will learn what the Bible teaches is the right and wrong way to forgive others. God does not expect you to do something you cannot do, nor does He want you to live with the hurt and anger the rest of your life. Read this book and learn the truth, and the truth will set you free.
