#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
You deserve to stop suffering because of what other people have done to you.
Have you ever felt stuck in a cycle of unresolved pain, playing offenses over and over in your mind? You know you can't go on like this, but you don't know what to do next. Lysa TerKeurst has wrestled through this journey. But in surprising ways, she’s discovered how to let go of bound-up resentment and overcome the resistance to forgiving people who aren’t willing to make things right.
With deep empathy, therapeutic insight, and rich Bible teaching coming out of more than 1,000 hours of theological study, Lysa will help you:
- Learn how to move on when the other person refuses to change and never says they're sorry.
- Walk through a step-by-step process to free yourself from the hurt of your past and feel less offended today.
- Discover what the Bible really says about forgiveness and the peace that comes from living it out right now.
- Identify what's stealing trust and vulnerability from your relationships so you can believe there is still good ahead.
- Disempower the triggers hijacking your emotions by embracing the two necessary parts of forgiveness.
Look for additional biblically based resources and devotionals from Lysa:

Story
Life often looks so very different than we hoped or expected. Some events may simply catch us off guard for a season, but others shatter us completely. We feel disappointed and disillusioned at best and overwhelmed and hopeless at worst. We quietly start to wonder about the reality of God’s goodness and why he allows us to suffer and experience grief and loss. Lysa TerKeurst understands this deeply. But after many tears, godly counseling, and prayerful seeking, she's also discovered that our disappointments can be the divine appointments our souls need to radically encounter God.

When you let go, you live intuitively. Everything flows, because you are no longer attached to things being a certain way, to being a certain person or always being right. What a relief. The irony is that when you feel stuck in any area of your life - career, relationships, purpose, health or money - letting go can seem very hard. You cling on for dear life just at the moment you need to take the leap. In The Power of Letting Go, John Purkiss explains why we should let go and how we can do it, using proven techniques to make things happen.

Through personal experience and countless conversations, speaker and Bible teacher Jennie Allen has come to realize that most of us need to unlearn some deeply damaging messages about our emotions. We've been taught, for example, that emotions are untrustworthy when, in fact, they are a gift from God to help us notice what is wrong and where we need to heal. Your emotions are not something to suppress or ignore. They are meant to be felt, examined, and shared.

Wonderful Wisdom
The first chapter of this book really brings out raw feeling and emotion, I feel like Lysa was speaking directly to me. This book mentions a lot about God and being religious, myself I am more of a spiritual person, but could still relate to the messages. After listening to it once I could for sure say that I disagree or am not at the point of being where she talks about being mindfully. I screamed back at the book at some points to point out my shear distaste for what she was saying. That doesn't mean she is wrong. That only tells me I have alot more room to grow and will for sure be listening to this book more than once or twice. I can literally see/feel myself changing day to day internally. Not reacting as I once did to certain things or situations. I would recommend this book.

A realistic, compassionate guide
I wish I also had the paper version but I enjoyed hearing Lysa's voice of compassion and understanding reading her story and studies. There are other books on Biblical forgiveness which contain similar Biblical principles, but few if any wrapped with the vulnerability, humility, compassion and understanding that Lysa offers. The "how to" aspect carries a lot of weight since the author has so recently walked this difficult road and personally wrestled so deeply with these issues.

For Christians
If you are a Christian this might be for you. If you are looking for an opinion this might be for you. One persons story who explains why it takes a little more work than letting Jesus take the wheel. Boring. Really wanted to like this book.
