Forgiveness After Trauma
$19.99Add to cartSusannah Griffith wishes she had spent less time thinking about forgiveness. But as a Christian minister, a biblical scholar, and a survivor of abuse, she has learned a lot about it.
In Forgiveness after Trauma, Griffith explores what the Bible says–and doesn’t say–about the biblical call to forgive. She helps readers understand this command in ways that are healing and restorative, framing it within broader concerns around lament, anger, accountability, release and rebirth, and reconciliation.
The result is what Griffith calls “trauma-informed forgiveness,” which takes seriously God’s forgiveness of sinners while centering survivors of abuse and aiding their healing. This view also empowers those who have been harmed in other ways by abuses of power and justice in religious institutions.
Readers will resonate with Griffith’s astute biblical analysis and personal reflection, which point to God’s love–a love that never includes abuse and strives for justice for the vulnerable.

Forgive : Why Should I And How Can I
$29.00Add to cartPastor and New York Times bestselling author Timothy Keller outlines the reasons why forgiveness has to be a central part of everyone’s lives.

Escandalo Del Perdon – (Spanish)
$9.99Add to cartCon nuevo material escrito solo para este libro y adaptaciones de su clasico, Gracia divina vs. condena humana, el exitoso autor Philip Yancey presenta una mirada unica al perdon: lo que es… por que es tan dificil… por que tenemos que elegir este acto antinatural y escandaloso… y por que debemos acercarnos a Dios una y otra vez, entregandole el residuo de lo que pensamos que le habiamos confiado hace mucho tiempo.
El perdon es un acto antinatural. Tal vez por eso el perdon es tan dificil. Entonces, por que iba Dios a exigirnos un acto que desafia todo instinto primal? Que hace que el perdon sea tan importante como para que sea un elemento central de la fe cristiana? Lo hacemos porque el Evangelio deja clara la conexion: Dios perdona nuestras deudas como nosotros perdonamos a nuestros deudores. Lo contrario tambien es cierto: solo viviendo en la corriente del perdon de Dios encontraremos la fuerza para responder con perdon a los demas.
Podemos hablar de perdon a menudo, incluso creyendo que somos una persona que perdona, pero entendemos la verdadera profundidad y lo que exige de nosotros? Lo proclama nuestra vida con tanta fuerza como nuestras palabras? No debemos hacernos ilusiones sobre el perdon, ya que puede ser el acto mas exigente en las relaciones humanas, lo mas dificil que jamas hayamos hecho. Pero para cualquiera que vive y ama imperfectamente, en otras palabras, para todos nosotros, el perdon ofrece una alternativa a un ciclo interminable de resentimiento y venganza.
Solo eso puede liberarnos. Los cristianos pueden y deben revelar el perdon que el mundo busca. Un cese al fuego entre los seres humanos comienza con el perdon: el comienzo y el final de la gracia.
The Scandal of Forgiveness
Containing new material written just for this book and adaptations from his classic, What’s So Amazing About Grace, bestselling author Philip Yancey presents a one of a kind look at forgiveness: what it is… why it is so difficult… why we have to choose this unnatural, scandalous act… and why we must approach God again and again, yielding to Him the residue of what we thought we had committed to him long ago.
Forgiveness is an unnatural act. That may be why forgiveness is so difficult. So why would God require us to perform an act that defies every primal instinct? What makes forgiveness so important that it is central to the Christian faith? We do so because the Gospel makes clear the connection: God forgives our debts as we forgive

No Apology Needed
$14.99Add to cartNathan R. Byrd was inspired to write No Apology Needed: Learning to Forgive as God Forgives during Yom Kippur, the Jewish Day of Atonement and forgiveness, in 2012. As he began to research the Jewish perspective of the holiday, he realized that neither Adam nor Eve ever apologized to God for their sin, yet they were forgiven immediately.
Byrd offers a new perspective on the concept of forgiveness, with the goal of transforming lives and communities. Exploring the Jewish roots for the Christian faith, he suggests that the practice of Yom Kippur and Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, can offer Christians a rhythm for forgiveness that will have a positive impact on their whole life.
By learning to forgive as God does, without needing any apology from those who have wronged us, we can unlock the keys to healing and healthy relationships. Looking at ancient biblical passages in a new light, Byrd reveals what we have been missing about the teachings of Jesus and the character of our God, as seen in the stories of Adam and Eve, Joseph and his brothers, and King Saul and David. In doing so, Byrd offers incredible insights into how we view relationships and the necessity of adopting a posture of forgiveness, regardless of the circumstances. -

Forgiveness : Finding Peace Through Letting Go
$15.99Add to cartIf your enemies are starving, feed them some bread; if they are thirsty, give them water to drink. Proverbs 24:17 (CEB) There is nothing more crippling than holding on to anger. Anger, more than any other emotion, has the power to consume all aspects of our lives, distort our sense of purpose, and destroy our relationship with God. In the passionate and life-changing book Forgiveness: Finding Peace Though Letting Go, bestselling author Adam Hamilton brings the same insight that he applied in the bestseller “Why?” to the challenge of forgiveness. Hamilton argues that revelation comes when we realize that forgiveness is a gift we give ourselves rather than to someone else. He also contends that only when we learn to forgive others and ourselves can we truly receive forgiveness from God. “Adam Hamilton not only reminds us about the importance of reconnecting the broken pieces of our lives, but shows how the process of grace and forgiveness is possibly our most complete picture of God.” –Shane Stanford, author of Making Life Matter: Embracing the Joy in the Everyday “The heartbeat of the gospel is grace. With practical insight, Hamilton makes grace understandable–both for seeking and for granting forgiveness. I highly recommend this book.” –Melody Carlson, author of Healing Waters: A Bible Study on Forgiveness, Grace, and Second Chances “Adam Hamilton’s book offers clear guidance for believers struggling with the practical application of our biblical imperative to forgive. It is a must-read for both Christian counselors and every person who has something or someone to forgive.” –Jennifer Cisney Ellers, author of The First 48 Hours: Spiritual Caregivers as First Responders “Deeply rooted in the Bible’s testimony about God’s extravagant mercy, this fine little book explores the Christian call to practice both repentance and forgiveness in the image of God. Straightforward and practical, Hamilton vividly sketches the habits of the heart that discipleship requires in our daily relationships with spouses and intimate life partners, family members, friends and strangers.” –Patricia Beattie Jung, Professor of Christian Ethics, Saint Paul School of Theology

Lenguaje Del Perdon – (Spanish)
$15.99Add to cartLove does not grow by itself. It must be nourished daily with gentle words, trust, and good communication. When we allow hate, resentment and lack of forgiveness to take over, we start killing love. Distance takes its place, along with indifference, yelling, demeaning silences, and reproaches.
Forgiveness is the bridge that enables dialogue to regain trust and strengthen the relationship. If we don’t forgive and ask for forgiveness, we may kill the joy of sharing our lives with others.
Remember…
*When arguing, humility brings out the best solution.
*Do not hold grudges without forgiving or asking for forgiveness.
*Complaining, insults, and mockery turns love away.
*Approach your partner with gentleness.
*Hold yourself accountable for your mistakes.
*To experience a flourishing relationship, you must give your best every day.When there is true love, it’s never too late to appreciate it. Today is the best day to ask for forgiveness and start all over again!
El amor no crece solo. Debe alimentarse cada dia con palabras de afirmacion, afecto, confianza y dialogo. Cuando dejamos que el rencor, la amargura y la falta de perdon se apoderen de nosotros, vamos matando el amor lentamente hasta producir un distanciamiento que se manifiesta con indiferencia, gritos, silencios que castigan y recriminaciones.
El perdon es el puente que facilita el dialogo para recuperar la confianza, y fortalecer la relacion. Si no pedimos perdon y no perdonamos, podriamos matar la ilusion y la alegria de vivir juntos.
Recuerda…
*En una discusion, la mejor solucion la alcanza la humildad.
*No acumules situaciones sin perdonar o pedir perdon.
*La queja, el reclamo, los insultos y la burla alejan el amor.
*Comunicate con amabilidad.
*Admite los errores.
*Decide cada dia que daras lo mejor de ti para hacer crecer la relacion.Cuando hay amor de verdad jamas es tarde para apreciarlo. !Hoy es un buen dia para pedir perdon, y volverlo a intentar!

Awesome Journey : Lifes Pilgrimage
$14.99Add to cartDrawing on a lifetime of Christian pilgrimage, David Adam reflects on biblical encounters with the divine and offers profound insights – on grief and glory, emptiness and fulfilment; repentance and forgiveness; loving and being loved – that will transform the way we live, and the way we relate to God, here and now. For example, God’s question to Adam, ‘Where are you?’ is relevant to us all; Abraham’s long journey of hearing and obeying (and learning the art of having no agenda) is ours too; Jacob’s great discovery – that heaven is found on earth and earth is raised to heaven – helps us become aware that we often already possess what we think we’re searching for; Moses’ desert experiences of grief and glory encourage us that we journey forward to the Promised Land, while Elijah’s powerlessness reminds us that God often calls us out of darkness and weakness, for we may need stillness to hear him. Written by a best-selling author – and distinguished spiritual director – with a proven track record. Inspires in us – through Bible passages, story, poetry and meditation – a sense of awe for the journey we are on and the courage to live life in abundance. The understanding that God is ‘as pervasive and perceptible as the atmosphere in which we are bathed’ (Teilhard de Chardin) comes through in all David’s writing, and his confidence and delight in the nearness of God is surely one of the reasons his books are so popular.

Forgiveness : A Lenten Study
$16.00Add to cartForgiving others and humbly asking for forgiveness are central disciplines for all Christian believers. Lent, a time to reflect on our Christian journey, is an appropriate time to deepen our understanding and practice of forgiveness. Marjorie J. Thompson, author of the best-selling book Soul Feast, takes a close look at our understanding of forgiveness in this encouraging study.

Is forgiveness a Christian duty under all circumstances? Or are there situations when Christians do not need to forgive?
Is forgiveness a matter between individuals, or is it meaningful only in the context of communities?
Is forgiving the best route to healing for the injured?
How do we get past emotional barriers to real forgiveness?Using biblical examples and real-life situations, Thompson illustrates each chapter’s theme in an informative and engaging way. A study guide is also included at the back of the book that is appropriate for either individual reflection or group discussion. With clarity, insight, and sensitivity, this book is the perfect resource for examining both our ability to forgive and our own need for forgiveness.

Radical Forgiveness : Gods Call To Unconditional Love
$16.99Add to cartAre you really sure you understand God’s viewpoint about forgiveness and mercy?
If Christianity is to be a compelling and relevant voice in the twenty-first century, it needs a fresh message-not a new innovation or novel interpretation, but a return to our roots. If Christianity is not about forgiveness, it’s about nothing at all.
In this book readers will be confronted with the stark reality of how deeply we need to reach within to really show Christlike forgiveness and mercy to those to whom we may feel least inclined to offer forgiveness or mercy. The author’s primary motive in writing this book is to help recover the true beauty of Christianity as found in forgiveness.
This book begins with the Holocaust as it explores what forgiveness means-and how far it should go-in the real world of murder, rape, child abuse, genocide, and other atrocities. It pushes the reader beyond the usual biblical exposition of the topic of forgiveness and challenges their thinking by juxtaposing absolutely bottom-line kinds of examples with the simple question: What would you do?

Why?RT Kendall has written this book to answer tough questions like these, covering three reasons why we need to forgive God and release Him from the blame we put on Him when we feel He has betrayed us by allowing bad things to happen in our lives and the lives of others.

I Forgrace You
$16.99Add to cartMost of us are familiar with the golden rule: “Do unto others as you want them to do unto you.” And if people treat us well, we generally do the same in return. But what about when others hurt us? Jesus gives us an even higher calling: “Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you” (Luke 6:27-28). David Anderson shows us how we can extend extraordinary goodness to bless those who have hurt us. He presents the radical concept of “forgraceness”: grace beyond forgiveness. God empowers us not only to pardon real-life hurts, but to seek the good of others. When this happens, our relationships can experience amazing transformation and redemptive healing. We can’t do this on our own. We need God’s strength to take us to the next level. With God’s grace, we can go platinum.

Putting Your Past In Its Place
$16.99Add to cartLives grind to a halt when people don’t know how to relate to their past. Some believe “the past is nothing” and attempt to suppress the brokenness again and again.

Pastor and biblical counselor Stephen Viars introduces a third way to view one’s personal history-by exploring the role of the past as God intended. Using Scripture to lead readers forward, Viars provides practical measures to:
*understand the important place “the past” is given in Scripture

Beyond Forgiveness : Reflections On Atonement
$19.95Add to cartAs indispensable as forgiveness has been to the healing process throughout history, there is another equally profound action that is needed for ultimate reconciliation, which Arun Gandhi, grandson of Mohandas Gandhi, calls “the other side of the coin.” Turning over the coin of forgiveness, we discover “atonement,” the half-hidden, much-overlooked other half of the reconciliation process.
“Beyond Forgiveness” shows how acts of atonement–making amends, providing restitution, restoring balance–can relieve us of the pain of the past and give us a hopeful future. This rich and powerful book includes 15 thoughtful contributions by high-profile thinkers and activists including Huston Smith, Michael Bernard Beckwith, Azim Khamisa, Rabbi Michael Lerner, Jacob Needleman, Michael Nagler, Diane Hennacy Powell, James O’Dea, Arun Gandhi, Kate Dahlstedt, Ed Tick, Richard J. Meyer, Rev. Heng Sure, Douglas George-Kanentiio and Katharine Dever. Atonement is put forward as a process that we must all learn to practice–from individuals to nations–if we are to heal our wounds and move forward.

Forgiving As Weve Been Forgiven
$20.99Add to cartChristians are supposed to forgive others as we’ve been forgiven. But hearing the call to forgive is different from knowing how to practice forgiveness at home and in the world. Forgiveness is about more than the isolated acts and words of individuals. To forgive and be forgiven, we need communal practices and disciplines for a way of life that makes for peace. Greg Jones and Celestin Musekura describe how churches and communities can cultivate the habits that make forgiveness possible on a daily basis. Following the Rwandan genocide, Musekura lost his father and other family members to revenge killings. But then he heard God tell him to forgive the killers. The healing power of forgiveness in his own life inspired him to work for forgiveness and reconciliation across Africa. Jones, author of Embodying Forgiveness, interacts with Musekura’s story to show how people can practice forgiveness not only in dramatic situations like genocide but also in everyday circumstances of marriage, family and congregational life. Together they demonstrate that forgiving and being forgiven are mutually reciprocating practices that lead to transformation and healing.
