As authors we are always asked, What inspired this book? This one came from actual life experience.As I began to work out the spiritual application of forgiveness among strained relationships in my life, the overwhelming understanding became evident, that forgiving the way Jesus forgives is the way to true freedom for both the offended and the offender, not merely confessing a belief in a man. I became increasingly burdened about just how much we do not understand the very foundation of our walk as believers in Jesus Christ. A lack of desire to see others free and, more disturbing, an intense desire to want others to pay for their offences seemed to be the norm among some professing Christians (including preachers). That burden became too strong for me to ignore, so I set out to learn--and then write this book--in attempt to shatter the untruths that the church holds so dear about the most life changing force there is on the planet.The goal of this book is to open our spiritual eyes to the reality of life changing faith founded on forgiveness inspired by a sincere desire to see others set free to know Jesus.CONTENTSChapter 1 A Fresh Look at the CrossChapter 2 Wiping the Slate CleanChapter 3 The Joy Set Before HimChapter 4 The Archer and the TargetChapter 5 Criminals and OffendersChapter 6 Forgiveness and TraumaChapter 7 I Can Forgive, But I Won't ForgetChapter 8 Set Yourself Free and FlyPrayers to Help Us ForgiveScriptures About Forgiveness
