Called to Forgive: The Charleston Church Shooting, a Victim's Husband, and the Path to Healing and Peace by Denise George, Anthony B. Thompson

challenging hopeful informative reflective

5.0

Amid tragedy, Anthony Thompson chose to forgive. This wasn’t an easy or simple decision for him to make because he loved his wife and he misses her. This book discusses the benefits of forgiveness and how unforgiveness can have negative effects on your health. Wow, this book blessed me. I had questions about forgiveness and this book answered them!

I loved the scriptures quoted and the real-life examples of people who have chosen to forgiven. Also, the examples of those who have chosen not to forgive and how it impacted their lives. 

“Feelings have little to do with the firm, intentional biblical decision to forgive. As a believer in Christ, I know I will be called to forgive many hurtful others as I travel through life.”

“As a Christian, I choose to obey God’s word, and that means I decided to forgive the evil man who so wickedly and deliberately took away my lovely wife.”
