Full description for Unpacking Forgiveness

  • Helps readers move beyond the wounds and baggage of bitterness, disagreements, and broken relationships."True or false: most Christian pastors and counselors agree onwhat forgiveness is and how it should take place." This question ispart of Chris Brauns's Forgiveness Quiz that draws readers into hisbook and gets them thinking about the subject of forgiveness. Thetruth is, pastors and counselors disagree profoundly on thissubject. Unpacking Forgiveness combines sound theologicalthinking and honesty about the complicated questions many face toprovide readers with a solid understanding of biblicalforgiveness.Only God's Word can unpack forgiveness. The wounds are too deepfor us to find healing on our own, and the questions are toocomplex to be unraveled by anything but the wisdom of God. Thisbook goes beyond a feel-good doctrine of automatic forgiveness, balancing the beauty of God's grace and the necessity offorgiveness with the teaching that forgiveness must take place in away that is consistent with justice.
