There's so much I'd like to remember from these pages, but this is what I decided to include in this review for my future help.

I also walked away from reading this book and completing the Bible study with little insight as to how to forgive others and found it odd that one of the biggest issues for Lysa to forgive was simply glossed over and the reader was left guessing that everything worked out. Cynicism dressed like a security guard, making me believe that if I hoped for less, it would protect me and prevent more pain. We can certainly be mad or frustrated with God, but that is ultimately our own sin and we are the ones who then need to repent and seek His forgiveness.

Please do not refuse a shipment or ignore requests from carriers regarding duty and/or tax liability charges. It’s easier to ignore this person altogether than to try and figure out boundaries so they don’t keep hurting me. Terkheurst also did an impeccable job explaining that forgiveness of an Act happens once - what happens over and over again is forgiveness of the Impact of the act.

I started reading it right away as I am going through something right now and I was hoping it would help. I'm also aware TerKuerst ended up divorcing her husband after the publication of this title, so any positives she mentioned in her story feel inauthentic. Bestseller TerKeurst ( It’s Not Supposed to Be This Way), president of Proverbs 31 Ministries, again plumbs the depths of her heartbreak to help readers through the difficulties of forgiveness in this excellent, revealing rumination. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice.

The other problem she used her separation with her husband as the center of this book and she leaves you not knowing how they came back together, you only know they did. We all need someone to listen to our problems and try to help us out, but this only brought to me a story of her life. Just that alone was so helpful and validating for me, to help me realize that I *have* forgiven, but the reason I still struggle is because I need to continue to forgive xyz for the impact of how what they did continues to effect me. Discover what the Bible really says about forgiveness and the peace that comes from living it out right now.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. In fact, I don’t believe I got a clear answer on how to forgive other than to go and read some scripture verses that were recommended.I’ve enjoyed reading other titles by Lysa Terkeurst but just couldn’t find myself gleaning much information from this book.

If healing hasn't' been worked out and forgiveness hasn't' been walked out, chaos is what will continue to play out. I was recommended another book from this author, but thought the topic of forgiveness was one I should read first. The biggest thing that makes Lysa Terkeurst’s writing so impactful is that she counters all of my own thoughts before I had time to think them.This book kept my attention and it has so much in it about what is actually going on with me in my life. Have you ever felt stuck in a cycle of unresolved pain, playing offenses over and over in your mind? TerKeurst’s fans will love this stirring, realistic look at confronting the arduous aspects of forgiveness. Wrongs we deem were never made right are incredibly stealthy in their ability to sit, quietly seething, until that one more wrong done to us gives them permission to finally scream.
