Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When you think about forgiving do you associate it with religion? If so, you are among the majority of people. Even individuals that do not have a religious affiliation, express they associate forgiveness with religion. Approximately 30 years ago research scientist had a flux of groundbreaking discoveries concerning the connection between our mind and body. Studies proved that thoughts affect our emotions, and emotions affect our bodies. Here's an example of how your mind can affect your body. Imagine you're at work and you have a disagreement with your co-worker regarding the next step on a large project that is your responsibility. Your co-worker gets very defensive about how he feels and suddenly begins to make comments about you that were not true. You walked out of his office feeling, angry, hurt, and disappointed. Once you were in your office you noticed your heart was beating faster than usual and your breathing had increased. You were starting to get a headache as well. It's clear your feelings of anger and hurt affected your body. Here's another example that's more intense. After working hard one morning, your boss decides to give you the afternoon off. You were excited because your spouse works the night shift and you don't get to spend a lot of time together. As you walk in the house, you notice some shoes that didn't look familiar. You open the bedroom door and find your spouse in your bed with someone else. How would you feel? Maybe furious, hurt, outraged, shocked, etc., you never thought your spouse would do something like that. What type of physical symptoms do you think you may feel? Increased heart rate, An increase in your heart rate and breathing, light-headed, sweaty, nauseated, just to mention a few symptoms. From the example above, Do you believe it's important to forgive your spouse? What do you think happens if you do not forgive the person who hurts you? The negative memory is stored in your subconscious mind just like other memories. As time goes by you notice you don't think of the event much, you've been staying busy with work and friends. It may appear that time is healing your wounds and at some point, it will be forgotten. However, this is not what happens. It may be hard for you to believe right now, but unforgiveness over time will make you sick. I will explain precisely what happens in your body when you don't forgive that causes you to slowly become ill. When we go through emotional trauma, we have the choice to forgive or not to forgive. Are you willing to forgive? Do you know how to forgive? Are you aware of the cost of unforgiveness? You will find the answers to these questions and many more in this book. I hope my journey of forgiveness will inspire you to be forgiving so you can obtain the benefits of living a life of forgiveness.

Download or read book Forgiveness and Love written by Glen Pettigrove and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2012-08-30 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is forgiveness? When is it appropriate? How is it encouraged or inhibited? Answering these questions one way rather than another can alter our lives and our relationships in dramatic ways. If we think that forgiveness is or involves a passion that we experience but over which we have little control, then we will respond to it differently than if we think forgiving is something we choose to do or refrain from doing. If we think forgiveness involves restoring a relationship, then we will treat it differently than if we think it merely a matter of managing our emotions. If we think forgiveness is something that must be earned or deserved then we will not even consider forgiving certain agents; whereas if we think it is something that can be freely given, then forgiving these agents may become a live option. Glen Pettigrove explores the nature and norms of forgiveness, drawing attention to important dimensions that have been neglected by other discussions of the topic. He highlights the significance of character, both of the forgiver and of the forgiven, for common perspectives on what forgiveness is and when it is appropriate. Pettigrove explores the relationship between forgiving, understanding, and loving. And he revives a virtue that has too long been neglected: namely, grace.

Book excerpt: The unforgiveness hidden in our memories is like an iceberg--90 percent is buried beneath the surface in our minds. From that vantage point, unforgiveness wields a destructive power over our lives, and we don't even know where it comes from. These unresolved issues are barriers to our personal relationship with God and the people we love. Our loving Lord longs to see us set free from the pain of our past and personal unforgiveness. He wants us to live in the fullness of His presence and in the definition of who we are in Christ. Hidden Unforgiveness examines biblical principles vital to our spiritual growth, but applying them to our lives is often hindered by our unforgiveness. This is an in-depth study enriched with insights revealed in the original Hebrew and Greek texts. The key to personal freedom from the multiple spiritual, emotional, and physical consequences of unforgiveness is to choose to forgive one another as God in Christ has so graciously forgiven us. Our forgiveness invites the Holy Spirit to empower our lives to fulfill God's purpose in and through Christ. Join countless others in this revealing study, and set yourself free to grow in the truth and grace of God's amazing love and Word. "This study speaks to my heart in so many ways. Sherrie has a way of explaining a biblical concept that is fresh, clear, and easy to understand.

Book excerpt: In a culture where so many people think of middle age as a downward slope into comfy sneakers and quiet, meaningless existence, we can redefine the second half of life, shaping it into decades of fulfillment, fun, strength, and purpose. In our forties, fifties, and beyond, we're wrestling with new questions. Is this it? Did I do what I wanted to do in my life? Who am I now that my kids have moved out? Will my sagging skin eventually hang all the way down to my feet? We feel a little like the world has nudged us aside for the younger crowd. But God still has much in store for us. God doesn't bring us to the middle of our lives so we can park in front of the TV and binge-watch home makeover shows. There is no "midlife" to him! We are his gift to this world at every age and in every season, and it's time to embrace it like never before. Right now, we are the best we've ever been. We know more, we've done more, we've lost and loved more. We've figured out that all tweezers are not created equal for chin hairs and, best of all, we've crossed into a space of feeling more ourselves than ever before. These are exhilarating and empowering years. In Midlife Battle Cry, bestselling author Dawn Barton will inspire you to: realize that God isn't done with you (honestly, he's just getting started), view midlife as a pivot point, the start of a bold and powerful season, embrace who you are physically, spiritually, and emotionally, learn to share your experiences and wisdom with a younger generation, and accept that sometimes adding arch support to your cutest shoes is a really good idea. Blending lots of humor, honesty, stories, and insights, Dawn will walk you through redefining the mighty second half of life. It's time to rediscover your passions, pursue your dreams—and know your actions can cause not just a ripple effect but a magnificent tidal wave.

Download or read book The Danger of Unforgiveness Is an Emotional Time Bomb written by Jr. Eddie Toppen and published by . This book was released on 2011-06-01 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My name is Eddie Toppen, Jr. I consider myself just a servant. This book comes to you because when I was sitting in my quiet place of meditation and study, reading and thinking about our Father's prayer, for the first time I realized He only addresses one portion of that prayer in elaboration (Matthews 6:14-15): "For if ye forgive men their trespasses your heavenly Father will also forgive you; But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses)." While reading this, all of a sudden it was revealed to me that a Spirit or Attitude of resentment was sitting up in me which I had never thought about, but when the Spirit revealed it to me and exampled it, surely it was. I became scared and frighten because with all my heart I believed that God had forgiven me of all my sins but unless I forgive, I knew it was on hold. I realize Christ wants us to be with him in glory, so we must fulfill all scriptures that mean having the ability to forgive. There was a great response of the people that witnessed to me about these series on forgiveness and how it affected their lives; and how they had to make changes in their lives. They witnessed to me on how they were holding on to hatred against people for years and years but how they felt set free and lighter after they forgave. I am trusting that everyone that reads this book will make their lives better and much sweeter. It the Lord's will and much desire that all Christian's would do as I did and consider and examine themselves. May the peace of God be with you and favor follow you.
