Religion & beliefs

Anyone who has been wounded and has a need to forgive will benefit from When Forgiveness Doesn't Make Sense. It is also for those who sense they need to be forgiven by others, including God. Victims of abuse will find answers in its pages, as will church leaders who want to forgive a sinning member but are confused about the relationship between forgiveness and consequences. The audience for this book also includes the Christian who has difficulty ""forgiving God"" for allowing the pain in his or her life.

Why do we have difficulty accepting God's unconditional forgiveness? And why do we find it so impossible to grant that same forgiveness to others?

The bottom-line issue of life is forgiveness-that's the conclusion of Dr. Robert Jeffress after more than two decades in Christian ministry, and most of us would agree. Yet few of us have mastered the art of implementing forgiveness in our lives. Combining rich, biblical insights with practical, real-life situations, When Forgiveness Doesn't Make Sense effectively answers your burning questions regarding this critical issue, giving you not only the ""why's,"" but also the elusive ""how's"" of choosing to forgive.

Reviews for When Forgiveness Doesn't Make Sense: April 2001

Like the skilled surgeon of the Scriptures that he is, Robert Jeffress lays bare the cancerous tumor of unforgiveness and walks his reader through the confusing and sometimes thorny path to peace. -Howard G. Hendricks, Distinguished professor and chairman, Center for Christian Leadership, Dallas Theological Seminary Anger, hurt feelings, and even betrayal can emotionally and spiritually tie us in knots. Robert Jeffress shows us biblically and practically how to 'untie the knots.' If you've struggled with forgiving others, or even God, this is your book. -John Trent, PhD, author and speaker; President, Encouraging Words and StrongFamilies.com Dr. Jeffress makes sense out of giving forgiveness when it sometimes seems so senseless. With each page of this book, he opens the door to healing and grace. -Lew Parrott III, PhD, Seattle Pacific University; Author of The Control Freak
