500 $aGod 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.

520 $a"Have you been painfully wronged? Are you burdened with resentment, a prisoner of your own anger? Do you need to forgive someone or do you need to ask for forgiveness? Now is the time to take the first step to be set free. It can happen in a single act or over the course of a relationship. By someone we love or by a complete stranger. An unforgiveable offense, an inexcusable transgression, and we're cut deep; the wound laid wide open. We don't want to forget, and there's certainly no way we can forgive. Or is there? These powerful stories are of people who faced some of life's hardest moments -- betrayal, abandonment, divorce, addiction, even death - and yet they chose to do the impossible: they allowed God to work through them and offer forgiveness. You'll be strengthened and inspired as you discover that by breaking the chains of unforgiveness and guilt, you become the captive set free." -- back cover.
