Every day we hear stories of people caught up in conflict, violence, trauma and abuse, which can affect anyone in any walk of life. Each of us needs to offer forgiveness as well as receive it, but how?
Designed to accompany everyone on a personal or communal journey of forgiveness, this companion also offers an important resource for all engaged in listening, reconciliation and pastoral care, including clergy, counsellors and spiritual directors. It explores:
• Why forgiveness is important;
• What forgiveness is;
• Who can forgive;
• Offering forgiveness;
• Receiving forgiveness;
• How communities respond to tragedy;
• God's forgiveness.
'Forgiveness is at the heart of the Christian faith. It is at the heart of God's relationship to human beings, and at the heart of being human together. Anthony Priddis explores forgiveness in warm, practical and deeply moving ways. This is a book to ponder, a book to challenge, a book to change us if we listen to God's deep call to live a life directed towards forgiveness.' - Justin Welby
