Forgiveness - Updated Cover

In Forgiveness, Dr. Rodney Hogue shares a clear, practical path to release offenses, dismantle bitterness, and live free in Christ. This simple, Spirit-filled book will help you: Understand what forgiveness really is; Close the door to bitterness and offense; Release offenders and reclaim your freedom; Rebuild your heart where bitterness has no place to return. Have you ever found it difficult to forgive? Do you know you should forgive but you just can't? Have you ever wondered to yourself, 'Why is it important to forgive?' or 'What is unforgiveness doing to me?' or 'Is it really possible for me to forgive and get past this offense?' Have you ever convinced yourself that you are somehow punishing your offender by retaining the offense? Do you think that somehow forgiving someone is just letting them off the hook? You may not realize it but forgiveness is more important for what it does for you than what it does for your offender. Do you realize that your offender still has power over parts of your life until you forgive? The act of forgiveness can be and should be a simple act of the will. Once you know you should forgive, it could be just an immediate decision of the will. However for many it just isn’t that simple. Some people need to wrestle through this process in order to solidify it in their lives. It isn’t uncommon to find people who, after making a choice of their will to forgive, still find themselves wondering if they really did forgive since feelings of unforgiveness still linger. Others haven’t done the necessary follow-up work to rebuild their heart so that bitterness has no place to return. Forgiveness may feel impossible, but God’s grace makes it possible. Take the risk of releasing your offenders and discover the peace, joy, and freedom that have always been yours. ISBN - 9798993685205
