The Gift of Forgiveness by Charles F. StanleyMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is not just another book on why we ought to forgive one another. Rather, Dr. Stanley takes the time to first explain what forgiveness is, and what it is not, and then shows us our own position of forgiveness in Christ. Throughout the book are practical applications on how you can forgive not only others, but yourself, based on your own forgiveness in God through Christ.
This is the first time I've ever found a preacher who actually bothers to give valid biblical reasoning for the popular idea of the times, "forgiving yourself." Someone gave this book to me in hopes that I would learn forgiveness in regards to another person, but when I read it with an open mind, it allowed me to recognize an unforgiving spirit toward myself. I highly recommend it.
There is something here for everyone, not just the newly converted or the seasoned theologian.
