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.
**Inside- A detailed look at the surprising results of the Barna Research Group's specially commissioned national opinion study of Americans' views on forgiveness.
