- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is one of the best books on forgiveness I have ever read. The questions--Should we always forgive? Is forgiveness always even possible? Does forgiveness enable evil? Does it sacrifice justice? Are there any limits?--are all addressed. Pastor Brian Zahnd writes about many of the horrible atrocities of the world with compassion and depth, and always returns to the example of Jesus Christ. Thought provoking and challenging.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Very helpful, especially chapter on Joseph. Some new insights on what forgiveness is and isn't. Some bits are a little repetitive, but generally worth a listen to the end. Also want to listen to some sections again. Thanks.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Greatest book I’ve ever read! Very very good, please read
