Prepare yourself for a journey into freedom from the power of anger, bitterness and betrayal.
"Finding Freedom Through Forgiveness" draws on real life stories of real life people as Boyd Hopkins seeks to help people struggling with anger, guilt and betrayal to heal from failed relationships. Issues such as our need for justice and fair treatment are explored alongside our need to simply grant and receive mercy. Freedom Through Forgiveness draws on biblical stories that illustrate how Jesus, one of the great forgiveness teachers of all time, handled failure and betrayal and explores how what he taught then can help us today.
The stories used as illustrations come from a variety of sources personally experienced by the author. There are stories from the aftermath of the racially motivated Rwandan Genocide of 1994, and its overflow into the Congo, and the power of forgiveness to help bring resolution to what happened there. As one African pastor so succinctly put it, “If we do not learn to forgive, the pain we have experienced will kill us.” There are stories from North America of people who have been betrayed; stories narrated by those who have struggled with addictions and abuse. As one rape survivor said so bluntly when describing her perpetrator, “I love hating him. What do I do with that?” People who have been betrayed, who have betrayed others, or who have simply failed in their attempts to live life, often live with guilt and anger as a result. How to practically get beyond it is what many are seeking.
Just as each of the many amazing stories in this book are based on real life encounters, so each also demonstrates the practicality of forgiveness as a way to resolve the pain of broken relationships; pain that in some cases may be years or decades old; pain which often is responsible for holding us back from engaging life to the fullest. To help us take the next step in our healing, at the end of the book a forgiveness process is presented so as to enable the reader to come to an application that can be life changing.
