About this audiobook
Discover the true depth of what forgiveness is, what it demands of you, and how it sets you free.
Forgiveness offers an alternative to an endless cycle of resentment and revenge that we often see in this world, but it can be difficult to understand its true power without first understanding God’s scandalous grace and forgiveness of us.
In The Scandal of Forgiveness—an adaptation of the bestselling book What’s So Amazing About Grace?—author Philip Yancey will take you on an exploration of forgiveness and its clear connection to the gospel. You’ll learn how:
- Forgiveness is more powerful than getting even.
- The idea of forgiveness shatters the “eye for an eye” logic of the world.
- To see and shed the illusions surrounding grace and forgiveness.
- To accept the full impact of grace and what it means to be a grace-full Christian.
The Scandal of Forgiveness reveals how you can adopt the forgiveness the world is searching for. You’ll learn how to authentically forgive and grow closer in your relationship with God
