Anyone who has ever been hurt by a friend or family member faces two choices: grow cynical or grow forgiveness. It never feels good to be cheated, disrespected, taken advantage of, or offended. In fact, it’s very painful. How should we react? We know the obvious answer: We’re supposed to forgive. Yes, we’ve heard that before, but have not found it easy to do successfully. The hurt continues to stab at our heart, our mind replaying the words or actions over and over again. Why is forgiveness commanded? Is forgiveness even possible? Six Stages of Forgiving Others clearly answers these and many other questions about forgiveness.

Starting with a portrait of forgiveness, Reverend Karl ushers the reader from hopelessness to help in his insightful book on this much misunderstood topic.

The meaning of forgiveness
The human need and problem of forgiveness
