Summary: God wants us to forgive
Review: Dr Stanley brought us the fact that we have to forgive one another. God wants us to forgive like He does. This book taught us how to deal with bitterness using the most powerful tool, which is forgiveness. Dr Stanley has done a great great job to illustrate the meaning of forgiveness. Moreover, He told us the steps to begin forgiving others! This book is a must. See the benefit of being forgiven. We just can't forgive others if we don't realize that God forgives us first.

Summary: Totally forgiven means no more asking
Review: DR. Stanley makes the same mistake as practically every other
Christian and theologian, contradicting himself when he explains
that God has forgiven all sins because of Christ, yet when a Christian sins
they should ask God for forgiveness. This is simple doubletalk.
God is satisfied with Christ's payment for
sins, therefore there is no more dealing with sins- it is dealt
with. People don't realize that the "Lord's prayer" was given
to His Jewish disciples- not Christians. It is more accurately
"the Jewish disciples' prayer." There are many verses describing
this completeness and finality of the work of the cross-
you find it taught after the cross came to pass, not before.
When a Christian begins to live in the knowledge that there is
no more asking, because forgiveness is total, then and only then
does it become more possible to forgive others and go free from
grudges and guilt. For more and better teaching on these treasures
in the new covenant, read Bob George's "Faith that Pleases God."

Summary: God's Word made personal
Review: This book has become my bedside bible. I want to buy a copy for everyone I know. As a new believer, it clarified so much for me about having a relationship with Jesus, and His ability to help me overcome difficulty. I would encourage anyone whose spirit is not at rest, or who is seeking to have or deepen their relationship with the Lord through Christ to buy this book. There were very practical steps to lead you out of bondage and into His grace. It is the only book of it's kind I have read cover to cover - God Bless you if a copy falls into your hands

Summary: Teaches us to forgive ourselves!
Review: This book was given to me by a friend when my daughter died, as I could not forgive myself, my husband, or God; and as time grew so did my bitterness for life and towards others. This book offered me a chance to heal at my own rate, instead of lashing out at others who offered help. I would often make comments, while reading, like, 'Yeah right! Who are you kidding! I have every right to be a -----!' Over time, and upon highlighting and re-reading this book, my heart began to change.Mr. Charles Stanley is very straight forward and honest in his writing. It seems that he holds nothing back. He offers steps to help us forgive ourselves and others, based on biblical principles and he offers us reassurance and comfort such as, 'Regardless of what you have done, you have not stretched God beyond his limits. His love knows no limits.
