How do you forgive the unforgivable?

Forgiveness is an essential part of being a Christian, but that doesn't make it easy. What do we do when confronted with the unforgivable--an act that shakes our moral foundations to their roots, often committed by someone trusted and loved? Adultery, sexual abuse, murder, betrayal--all leave lifelong wounds. Thankfully, they are all trespasses that, through the grace of God, can be forgiven.

Drawing deeply from the well of Scripture, and never minimizing your experience, Dr. David Stoop compassionately guides you from the pain of bitter hurt to the peace found only in heartfelt forgiveness, even for the worst of offenses.

The road to forgiveness can be long and fraught with difficulties, but the destination--true and lasting freedom from the shackles of anger, fear, and constant second-guessing--is well worth the effort.
