Forgiveness By Matthew West

Whether giving or receiving, forgiveness is the key toward true healing and blessing.

God says there are no limits to forgiveness toward others or ourselves. And when Matthew West set out on a journey asking people to share their true life stories, Renée shared about how she chose to forgive the drunk driver who hit and killed her daughter.

This remarkable story and others like it bring peace and healing to the one needing and the ones giving forgiveness. Fifty powerful stories share forgiveness through divorce, betrayal, addiction, abandonment, death, and more. Each story ties into the promises of God’s faithfulness and healing, and ends with the story of God’s ultimate forgiveness through the message of salvation.


I think forgiveness is something we all struggle with. How do we forgive and forget when someone hurts us so bad? How can we put it all behind? This book is broken up into 4 sections and backed with scriptural references. This book shows us how it's important that we forgive others if we want our Heavenly Father to show the same compassion to us. Sometimes we think we're the only ones going through certain situations or no one has to endure what we do, but after reading some of the stories in this book, made me realize someone else always got it worse, our situation isn't so bad afterall!
