Pardon Me…Please

While some people occasionally struggle with doctrinal, moral, and financial issues, the most pressing challenge most Christians and churches face are relational. 

A careless word, a thoughtless act, a merciless attack can devastate the strongest person. Friendships, marriages, families, church – all struggle to survive in the face of regular and repeated offenses. This is where the need for real forgiveness comes in. Genuine, biblical forgiveness can heal the most severely damaged relationship. 

It goes without saying that Christians should be the most forgiving people in this world, but the truth is many are angry, difficult, bitter, resentful, and even revengeful toward others who have offended them. Offended spirits should not be seen as minor irritations, but for what they are – potentially fatal diseases. 

The book answers the pressing questions.
How can anyone ever hope to be forgiven?
Will God really forgive me?
When should we forgive and just keep quiet?
Should all forgiveness be unconditional and unilateral?
Should we withhold forgiveness until the offender repents?
Does every offense call for confrontation?
Do I need to forgive myself?
Is anyone beyond forgiveness?
