Forgive your way to Freedom by Gil Mertz review
Forgive your way to Freedom " leads the believer in the importance , how to forgive and what happens to the person who does not forgive. The author is very open about all He has suffered with a father who never told him He loved him until He was dying. He tells the reader how moving it was for his dad to tell him He loved him and then He worked through the needed forgiveness He had to give his dad. The author shared several examples of people who forgave people in very difficult situations . He shared about Corrie ten Boom forgiving those who persecuted her in the Nazi concentration camps. He also shared how Joseph in the Bible was a real example for him. Joseph suffered innocently and never lost God's promises and also focused on God's purposes. He was put in prison for not a valid reason and was mistreated by his brothers. He restored his broken relationships and made sure He had peace with God. When we fail to forgive others we can get sick , hurt our relationships and waste our daily productive energy and not live each day productively for the Lord. Jesus is our example and forgave us for our sins. There are several myths that are described about forgiveness in the book so we know we may not think the correct way about forgiveness . IN the beginning and end of the book there is an self evaluation of forgiveness . This evaluation can help us measure how much work we need to grow in forgiving more. We start with accepting Christ's forgiveness, . He is our model and then we can model forgiveness for others. How can any of us afford to not forgive as God calls us to forgive? We also need to remember to forgive ourselves which may even be the hardest form of forgiveness. Are you ready to take the plunge and work through the concept of forgiveness? "Forgive Your Way to Forgiveness " is on Netgalley for to be read and reviewed prior to the release date by the publisher's permission. I appreciate the opportunity to read and share this wonderful book with others. It is a great opportunity for Christians to learn and challenge themselves to grow in their faith.
