Honestly,
I can’t remember where I heard about FORGIVENESS, FINDING PEACE THROUGH LETTING
GO by ADAM HAMILTON. If I had to guess, I would say it was a recommendation in
another book I read.
Don’t
let the size of FORGIVNESS fool you. It’s packed with great information. Most
of my copy is highlighted, underlined, notes written within, and pages
dog-eared. I copied a few pages to share with others. They were so intrigued,
they purchased the book themselves.
Some
of my favorite gems within the pages:
“Forgiveness
is believing that the future can be better than the past. The past can’t be
changed, but God can do something redemptive with it.” Page 122
“You
can choose to harm everyone because you were hurt, or you can choose to harm no
one because you were hurt. Either way, it’s a choice.” Page 123
I
loved the whole concept, “Just RAP: REMEMBER your own shortcomings, ASSUME the
best of people, and PRAY for them.” Page 76
I
could go on and on in what I gained from reading FORGIVENSS. I highly recommend
this amazing little book for everyone. None of us has escaped being hurt by
someone at one time or another in our lives, or hurting another, whether
knowing or unknowing.
I
hope that one day MR. HAMILTON’s book will be available in soft cover, so I can
share it with those through the prison ministry I’m involved in. Don’t miss out
on this book that will help to change your life for the better. I will
definitely be seeking out more books by ADAM HAMILTON.
