Freedom to forget is freedom to forgive!

One of the best books ever written on the importance of just not forgiving someone who caused hurt and pain in your life, but forgetting that they ever hurt you in the first place. Pastor Dan puts it all into perspective, we must learn to heal before we can move on to a higher place in our own lives. If we carry the burden, we are only hurting ourselves. This is a must-read for anyone going through a particularly hard time in their life. Pastor Dan walks easily through the steps of how and why to let go and move on up, to a place of greater spiritual growth and peaceful understanding.

Forgive..and Forget

This is an easy to read self-help book that give you a simple system of helping you get over the hurts of the past. While we may already know much of the information in this book already, the author does a great job of pulling it all together for us and shows us how to forgive and forget and move on. A great reference to keep in your library and periodically review.

Freedom to Forget is an amazing good book!!!

Short and simple. I really enjoyed reading this book because it contains a lot of good information to apply in our daily lives. It gives you advice on what to do when you come across the hard moments and feel like it breaks you down. It is helping me to let go of one of my tragic experiences and it is really for my own benefit. I also attend Pastor Dan's Ministry on Sundays at The Lighthouse Church in Chicago.

Great Book and Easy to Read

If you're looking for a book that will have you laughing and crying then this is the book for you. It was encouraging, convicting, and challenging without being "preachy". It came from the heart and you could tell that the author had personally experienced all the stories. Believe me, I couldn't put it down. I read it in about 2 days and when I was done, I felt a burden lift off my shoulders. It's one of the best books I've ever read and have been recommending it to all my family and friends.

Yet another great book by Dan Willis

What a powerful book. I read it through in just a few days. Once you begin you can not stop. I am now reading it through again and will pass it on to someone else. It should be a must have for your library. Dan wrote this so well and with so many personal experiences you just relate to everything he has to say. Read it and learn that the reason you are hurting is because you have not experienced the "Freedom to Forget"! I can promise you will be able to move on and totally enjoy life after reading this book. Very well written Dan, thanks! Sarah Barton
