Pastor Keller delivers a thorough and eloquent apologetic for
forgiveness... All will appreciate Keller's lucid prose and gift
for succinctly summarizing biblical wisdom. The result is a
thought-provoking take on how to forgive.
*Publishers Weekly*
Full of cultural references and solid biblical exposition, Keller
deftly explains why the need to forgive is so essential in a
society that seems, increasingly, to hang onto hurt feelings and
desire vengeance. Without shying away from the thorny issues of
church abuse, seeking justice and dealing with the real-world
consequences of others' bad behaviour, Keller nevertheless makes
the case for forgiving as God commands. But he doesn't leave the
reader there. he also provides a practical guide on how to do
this.
