Reviews
“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. What Robert Jeffress does is show 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, Ph.D., author and speaker president, Encouraging Words
“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.” -Les Parrott III, Ph.D., Seattle Pacific University author of The Control Freak Inside, A detailed look at the surprising results of the Barna Research Group’s specially commissioned national opinion study of Americans’ views on forgiveness.
