How to Forgive Ourselves Totally: Begin Again by Breaking Free from Past Mistakes

This is a great book - very helpful for growth as a Christian. He has a calm organized way of writing, takes up all the relevant points and helps you to understand what has happened, why you resist forgiving yourself, and what to do about it.

Forgiveness is something we must do everyday to live peacefully, however forgiving ourselves is often times the last thing we want or know how to do. This book helps us to understand the dynamics of forgiveness, especially when we have been held captive emotionally from things in our past. Everyone has a "past," it can't be changed, but it can be forgiven enabling us to go forward in our lives. Jesus tells us in Matthew 6:14 we must forgive to be forgiven. When we forgive it is for our benefit, not for the one we forgive ( it doesn't mean what they did was ok, but it sets us free). A good read and even better study.

It makes no difference whether you consider yourself to be a Christian or not, this is a book that everyone can benefit from reading and living out in their lives. Forgiving ourselves can be the hardest lesson of all to learn and yet it may well be the most important. R.T. Kendall does a masterful job of helping each of us to deal with this all important issue. This easy to read book is written in everyday language that makes even the most complicated issues readily understood. How To Forgive Ourselves Totally is truly "one for all" as each of us can benefit from the freedom found when we truly forgive others, and perhaps even more importantly, when we truly forgive ourselves.

We can think we forgive others, and hopefully we truly do. We can think we are fine with ourselves, yet live daily in self condemnation, with some guilt and shame to go with it. To be able to truly forgive others, it starts within us. Do I forgive myself? This book will expose it for what it is and bring you to the choice of resolution. It up to you, God wants you free from you being your weakest link. The future is bright!
