Forgiveness: Making Peace with the Past

LifeGuide Bible Studies

by Douglas K. Connelly

Forgiveness is a door. It's the way to peace and joy. But it's a small door, and it can't be entered without stooping―or kneeling. And sometimes it is very hard to find. When we hurt the people we love, how do we go about restoring the relationship? When we suffer the pain of betrayal or injury or rejection from someone else, how do we deal with the anger and resentment we feel? In eight studies, Douglas Connelly leads the way to help you discover, understand and practice what the Bible says about forgiveness. This eight-session LifeGuide® Bible Study features questions for starting group discussions and for meeting God in personal reflection, together with leader's notes and a "Now or Later" section in each study. For over three decades LifeGuide Bible Studies have provided solid biblical content and raised thought-provoking questions―making for a one-of-a-kind Bible study experience for individuals and groups. This series has more than 130 titles on Old and New Testament books, character studies, and topical studies.

This is by far one of the best bile studies. I have had the pleasure to teach. Our bible study is a senior's bible study we have eleven women and four men. We decided to study on Forgivness, we started the study in June of 2011 and finished it in Nov. 2011.
Every one in the study enjoyed it and said "how much they enjoyed it and how much they learned about themselves though this study"
I would reccomd this study to anyone who wants to really learn about Forgiveness in their lives and how to forgive and forget others who have done you wrong. Thank you Dr. Connelly for making this one of the best bible studies ever!!!

I think this book would be very beneficial if I had some deep past hurt. As I have reconciled with my past it did not have as big of an impact as it could.
