The Christian Victim's Guide to Forgiving the Unforgivable: A Biblical Journey to Break the Bondage of Bitterness

By Lisa Schafer

As a victim of childhood abuse and abandonment, the author uses her own tumultuous relationship with Jesus, and her decades-long journey to find answers to the tough questions victims ask of a God Who tells them He can be trusted. Where was He when she was suffering? Why would He let such a thing happen? If He's such a loving God, why would He let someone perpetrate such horrible evil against her? What can she do with her painful past? Did she really have to forgive her abuser? Each chapter addresses the emotions abuse/abandonment victims ponder--many of which prevent victims from having a deep, loving and trusting relationship with their Savior. They may struggle with constant feelings of being unloved, unwanted, unseen and unprotected. Most battle the bondage to bitterness, incapable of forgiving perpetrators, some of which they were supposed to "honor." The author shares how she discovered healing, freedom from bitterness, and inexplicable peace and joy through the truth of God's Word. This study-journal helps the victimized Believer accept the truth of their story as well as the embrace of our Heavenly Father, Who desires all to experience emotional and spiritual freedom, purpose, gratitude, and forgiveness. If you've ever heard yourself say, "I can not and WILL NOT forgive THEM!" this journey is for you.
