How Can I Forgive You?: The Courage to Forgive, the Freedom Not to by Janis A. Spring

5.0

The subtitle: The Courage to Forgive, the Freedom Not To. For anyone who has been hurt by someone in their life and cannot find a way to move on. Dr. Springer discusses four kinds of forgiveness: Cheap Forgiveness, Refusing to Forgive, Acceptance and Genuine Forgiveness. Acceptance is one avenue that is not offered to us from those who insist "we must forgive to find peace." Acceptance is an alternate route to take when the other party is unwilling or unavailable to participate in the process of Genuine Forgiveness. Rich in examples and expansion on all of the concepts, this is not a pat presentation, but a thoughtful, REAL, and very human approach to dealing with complex feelings of hurt, anger and respect for ourselves.
Very readable and insightful.
