One day, I asked, "Are you ready to get rid of that anger?" He said, "Yes." I led him through forgiving those who hurt him and inviting the Lord to heal the pain those people caused him. During that session, he experienced a tremendous weight lifting off from his shoulders and a deep peace. Since that day, he has been different. It has been one year, and he continues to be free from anger and stays peaceful. Through the principles and prayers in this book, you too can be free and receive the peace Gerald received.

Download or read book Forgiveness written by Iyanla Vanzant and published by Hay House, Inc. This book was released on 2017-02-07 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Too many of us feel trapped in stagnant romantic, family, or workplace relationships. Weighed down by toxic thoughts and emotions, we might be quick to judge and slow to pardon, and self-righteous about our feelings as we dwell on memories of what we or others did (or failed to do). In this tradepaper edition, Iyanla Vanzant challenges us to liberate ourselves from the wounds of the past and to embrace the new power of forgiveness. With Iyanla’s 21-Day Forgiveness Plan, you’ll explore relationship dynamics with your parents, children, friends, partners, co-workers, bosses, yourself, and even God. With journaling work and Emotional Freedom Techniques (also known as "tapping"), you’ll learn to live with more love; gain new clarity on your life, lessons, and blessings; and discover a new level of personal freedom, peace, and well-being. Forgiveness doesn’t mean agreeing with, condoning, or even liking what has happened. Forgiveness means letting go and knowing that—regardless of how challenging, frightening, or difficult an experience may seem—everything is just as it needs to be in order for you to grow and learn. When you focus on how things "should" be, you deny the presence and power of love. Accept the events of the past, while being willing to change your perspective on them. As Iyanla says, "Only forgiveness can liberate minds and hearts once held captive by anger, bitterness, resentment, and fear. Forgiveness is a true path to freedom that can renew faith, build trust, and nourish the soul."

Download or read book Do Yourself a Favor Forgive written by Joyce Meyer and published by Hachette UK. This book was released on 2012-04-03 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Building on her signature message of using the mind to master difficult emotions, Joyce Meyer focuses on the most destructive, insidious one of all: anger. It is responsible for broken relationships, sleepless nights, high blood pressure and ulcers. It destroys friendships, marriages and families, not to mention peace of mind. Anger is especially hard to handle for many Christians who have learned from childhood that "good Christians don't get angry." Meyer argues that properly handled, anger is an alert system that something is wrong and needs to be resolved. In her latest book, she delves into the important process of forgiving, explaining its positive impact on the roots, the forms and the results of anger. Why forgive? Joyce explains that forgiving is the only thing that can free one from the terrible turmoil that anger causes to spill over into every part of life. Meyer understands that life will never be fair, but that is not a reason to let anger destroy our well-being and health. This is her guide to navigating that thorny territory and finding true peace.

Download or read book The Book of Forgiving written by Desmond Tutu and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2014-03-18 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Nobel Peace Prize winner, Chair of The Elders, and Chair of South Africa’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission, along with his daughter, the Reverend Mpho Tutu, offer a manual on the art of forgiveness—helping us to realize that we are all capable of healing and transformation. Tutu's role as the Chair of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission taught him much about forgiveness. If you asked anyone what they thought was going to happen to South Africa after apartheid, almost universally it was predicted that the country would be devastated by a comprehensive bloodbath. Yet, instead of revenge and retribution, this new nation chose to tread the difficult path of confession, forgiveness, and reconciliation. Each of us has a deep need to forgive and to be forgiven. After much reflection on the process of forgiveness, Tutu has seen that there are four important steps to healing: Admitting the wrong and acknowledging the harm; Telling one's story and witnessing the anguish; Asking for forgiveness and granting forgiveness; and renewing or releasing the relationship. Forgiveness is hard work. Sometimes it even feels like an impossible task. But it is only through walking this fourfold path that Tutu says we can free ourselves of the endless and unyielding cycle of pain and retribution. The Book of Forgiving is both a touchstone and a tool, offering Tutu's wise advice and showing the way to experience forgiveness. Ultimately, forgiving is the only means we have to heal ourselves and our aching world.
Download or read book Forgiveness written by Constance D. Johnson and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2024-01-08 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author Minister Constance D. Johnson, MBA author of "Persevere Wrench", "Bellicans ~An Inspiring And Quintessential Novel For Today's Time!" writes for your reading pleasure and enjoyment this inspirational and enlightening book "Forgiveness: Is It Too Late To Forgive?" Featuring: "A Kindle Of A Mother's Memoirs Of Love ~ The Cent Of A Rose ~ The Price Jesus Christ Paid!" This is a magnificent and splendid story of forgiveness and acceptance of the Lord. Stories can mimic real life, but the beginning and ending may not. A house, whether it's built in an affluent area or in the slums--worms can be found underneath the paint. A tsunami can hit any house in any neighborhood where it generally occurs. Don't disregard a person because of where he or she lives or who they may appear to be. Just as there are those, though they may be rich and believe they have everything, but if they don't have God, they will soon come to realize that they really have nothing. Hopefully, all will come to know that they have a good and true purpose in life, and wealth can be the catalyst, or it can be shared with others who are in need. The "Holy Bible" speaks to your spirit. It holds all truths and answers, and no doubt or ambiguity can be found in it! Many have received promotions and are prosperous, and are not believers in the Word of God, but are living a facade, because it will fade as their body will return to dust! You can live on earth and in heaven--then your life begins! But while you are here on earth, don't put God on the backburner; put Him first in your life. Be aware; time is fleeting, the day of reckoning and judgement will soon come. Some may say: I need more time! But time is your enemy and not your friend, time will only ask for more time! But the good news is that love, health, protection, promotion, prosperity, and longevity can be yours, if you accept "God" in your 'heart' today; by His 'grace' through your 'faith' in "Jesus Christ" you will be 'saved' and receive 'eternal life in heaven' that your 'soul' will not be lost! Go ahead, live your life to the fullest; have a tinge of 'hope' and a sea of 'faith' to believe in God and in yourself to build your will-house--your oasis, that it will align with God's will for your life; that you can procure a better life, and do for others along the way. No one knows the day or hour they will leave this world and enter the next. Before you enter death's door, before "it's too late", won't you make the right choice while you are alive today? Repent of your sins and ask God for "forgiveness" (and all others) and receive the 'precious gift' of salvation and eternal life in heaven through Jesus Christ! The choice is truly only yours! Miracles are God's way of letting us know that He is here for us. You are a miracle of God! Isn't it extraordinary to know He loves you so! Read on and see! You'll be glad you did! BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE, FORGIVE NOW! TODAY!

Download or read book The Forgiveness Tour written by Susan Shapiro and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2021-01-12 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How Apologies Can Help You Move Forward With Your Life “To err is human; to forgive divine.” But what if the person who hurt you most refuses to apologize or express any regret? That’s the question haunting Manhattan journalist Susan Shapiro when her trusted advisor of fifteen years repeatedly lies to her. Stunned by the betrayal, she can barely eat or sleep. She’s always seen herself as big-hearted and benevolent, someone who will forgive anyone anything - as long as they’re remorseful. Yet the addiction specialist who helped her quit smoking, drinking and drugs after decades of self-destruction won’t explain – or stop - his ongoing deceit, leaving her blindsided. Her crisis management strategy is becoming her crisis. To protect her sanity and sobriety, Shapiro ends their relationship and vows they’ll never speak again. Yet ghosting him doesn’t end her distress. She has screaming arguments with him in her mind, relives their fallout in panicked nightmares and even lights a candle, chanting a secret Yiddish curse to exact revenge. In her entrancing, heartfelt new memoir The Forgiveness Tour: How to Find the Perfect Apology, Shapiro wrestles with how to exonerate someone who can’t cough up a measly “my bad” or mumble “mea culpa.” Seeking wisdom, she explores the billion-dollar Forgiveness Industry touting the personal benefits of absolution, where the only choice on every channel is: radical forgiveness. She fears it’s all bullshit. Desperate for enlightenment, she surveys her old rabbis, as well as religious leaders from every denomination. Unable to reconcile all the confusing abstractions, she embarks on a cross country journey where she interviews people who suffered unforgivable wrongs that were never atoned: victims of genocides, sexual assault, infidelity, cruelty and racism. A Holocaust survivor in D.C. admits he’s thrived from spite. A Michigan man meets with the drunk driver who killed his wife and children. A daughter in Seattle grapples with her mother - who stayed married to the father who raped her. Knowing their estrangement isn’t her fault, a Florida mom spends eight years apologizing to her son anyway -with surprising results. Does love mean forever having to say you’re sorry? Critics praised Shapiro’s previous memoir Lighting Up: How I Stopped Smoking, Drinking and Everything Else I Loved in Life Except Sex as fiercely honest, fascinating, funny and “a mind-bendingly good read.” Now the bestselling author and popular writing professor returns with a darker, wiser follow up, addressing the universal enigma of blind forgiving. Shapiro’s brilliant new gurus sooth her broken psyche and answer her burning mystery: How can you forgive someone without an apology? Does she? Should you?
