Publisher's summary

Number one New York Times best seller

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 living 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

Life Changing

I’m a Christian who allowed hurt and bitterness with another Christian overcome me. This book helped “the Jesus in me talk to the Jesus in her” and we are now in the process of healing that relationship.

Excellent Book!

I don’t normally leave reviews. But is this book worth the read! It’s like the author carefully penned every emotion & every thought I’ve had lately. As I read the physical book, while also listened—I felt a lot of things fall off of my shoulders, helped me put so much in perspective. Can we imagine a world where we practiced more forgiveness? We would be in such a better place. My testimony is God saved my life from pornography addiction, and he used the person I sexted with to open my eyes in an unexpected way. Learning to forgive the person whom I did that with was a huge step in my recovery. So I would definitely recommend this book!

The best book I ever read

This by far was the best book I ever read . Going through some similar things that the book goes over . It was like God placed this in my hands and it was medicine for my mind heart and soul. I have read it several times . It has taught me so much and has helped me with my circumstances in my life that I was struggling with that nearly broke me . This book helped me slowly to help put myself together with Gods help . Thank you Lysa for writing this . I’m so sorry you had to go through all of what you went through. But I’m inspired to learn how you got to the other side of your situation. Love your books . Thank you for sharing like you do . God Bless you and your family.
