Forgiveness is Power: A User's Guide to Why and How to Forgive

by William Fergus Martin

In this manual on how to forgive, there are insights and exercises without a preachy message or assumption that people “should” forgive. With chapters that explain what forgiveness is and how to deal with obstacles to it, it also addresses reconciliation with others and one’s own self. Practical and accessible, the book does not require religious practice or philosophy; it simply shows how to forgive in order to enhance self-esteem, be happier, and break free from limitations that can hold a person back.

Reviews

[Robert Owens]

As an individual, I found this book to be extremely useful. It helped me find the forgiveness that I really didn't think I had. As a clinical mental health counselor (in-training), I am sure I will use this book with my future clients. It is a quick read, but it is also powerful.
