Summary: "Forgiveness--as God would have us to learn forgiveness..."
Review: As a medical doctor, one of the most important problems that I encounter among my patients is that of bitterness, resentment,and unforgiveness. It is a major reason why people don't heal. This book offers extremely practical information and refer many of my patients to it for reading. It is the best book that I have seen on the subject of forgiveness and I highly recommend it to everyone.

Summary: Total Forgiveness
Review: At first I thought, what more can they say about forgiveness? Well, lots! I would title this book, "Total Forgiveness, Your Final Acid Test". It is excellent! Very thought provoking.

Summary: "Forgiveness--as God would have us to learn forgiveness..."
Review: Forgiveness today is often defined in shallow terms and trite metaphors. It is not always forgiveness as God sees it.

Kendall teaches us true forgiveness-forgiveness as God forgives. The author's insight is profound, and his foundation is the Word of God. We would expect nothing less from the writer of one of the finest Joseph commentaries ever written, and that story is THE story of forgiveness. (Only "With Joseph in the University of Adversity" is possibly better, IF you can find it!)

The key to Kendall's (and God's) forgiveness is forgiving not only the action against an offended party, but also the offender himself--sometimes, as in Joseph's case, no easy task.

I recommend this book without reservation, and also Kendall's work on Joseph.

Summary: 2nd best book I've ever read.
Review: I can't praise this book highly enough. This is not an easy book to read. Kendall warns that it is harder than climbing Mount Everest than to forgive, but it is so worth it.

This book recaptures some of the power that utterly transformed the brutal roman world some 2,000 years ago. If your spiritual life is tied up in knots, this book will point you to the power than can liberate beyond what you can imagine.

Summary: 2nd best book I've ever read.
Review: This book has totally changed my life. RT Kendall offers an amazing piece of work that, as you discover from the book, was born out of his own personal experience. The book is full of practical teaching about what our misconceptions of forgiveness are and what true Godly forgiveness is. This is not a book that tries to being a complex formula to forgiveness but rather it tries to explain from biblical concepts the importance of choosing to forgive those who have hurt us and our loved ones. I read it on the recommendation of a friend and have been thoroughly blessed.

Summary: Not helpful for everyone
Review: This book is an invaluable aid to those who feel forgiveness is their best way to find healing, or for those whose personal beliefs demand this, but it's too simplistic to work for every trauma victim. Some victims find the pressure and insistence to forgive their tormentors to be an additional burden, or an addition to their pain, or an insult to their suffering. Therapy must be tailored to the individual and this method just doesn't work for everyone.

Summary: Just what HE had in mind
Review: This is an awesome book. R.T. Kendall goes beyond just forgiveness here. He shows us how God not only wants us to forgive, but to take it to the next level which is to bless those we have forgiven. He provides insight to why we may be holding grudges and understanding to why some people have difficulty in forgiving and how we can handle it. I definitely will re-read this one over and over.
