This is a biblical principle based book from a Proverb 31 woman with bible scriptures* I enjoyed this book so much. I've been having this book for a few years and finally decided to read it. Very insightful and helpful considering how the world is and the people inside it. Not to mention, allowing the Holy Spirit to prick you and remind you that you have not arrived and in some areas "There's still work to do." Chapter 7 stuck out to me: A person who personalized everything, they immediately filtered it through unresolved pain, and unhealed hurts, from experiences they've had in their life story. They don't forget what was said to them, they're always building a case to support their perceptions. They quickly assign wrong motives and negative interpretations to what is done and said to them. I want to call it self help but not really .. the book aligned with scriptures and if you pray before reading it, I'm sure God will reveal somethings in this book in regards to you as well as to others. The book ministered to my spirit and the season that I am currently in. Forgiveness releases our need for retaliation, not our need for boundaries Bitterness is in part unprocessed grief Peace is an evidence of a life of forgiveness Undealt with pain and a mind at peace cannot coexist Forgiveness is suppose to be as much a part of our daily lives as eating and sleeping Some of the practical examples Lysa displayed were some hard truths that I had to go back and do some soul searching and look in the mirror. Remember: Books pick us, we do not pick the book, so if your spirit is drawing you this more than likely you're right where God has you :) 5/5 🌟

Enjoyable Read
This book is an enjoyable read, and the author speaks from her own pain, rather than just being educated and giving advice. I like that she states several times in the book that she struggles with taking her own advice, because there's nothing worse than an author who writes as if their advice should be easily done, because it gives you a feeling that they just don't understand how hard it is to do. Very good writing style, but in the end it's a "you must forgive others as God as forgiven you" book. It was helpful, but not life changing.

TerKeurst gives voice to pain & hope to healing
As usual Lysa TerKeurst puts beautiful words to our pain and gives hope to our healing yet again in this book. In fact, her story and her writing captivated me so much that I flew through the book. I didn't realize until the second to last chapter that I hadn't highlighted or bookmarked or taken notes. I will have to revisit so many portions of this book. I just kept a constant rally cry of, "Yes, that's me" "That's exactly how it feels" and "Thank God there is hope in this pain."

Forgiveness for healing!
I was honored to participate in a focus group in 2019 for this book. I read much of the material in process and if you have ever struggled with forgiveness of any kind - hurt from marriage, physical or emotional abuse, lies, family members other than spouses, other "church" folks, any kind of hurt at all. This book will help you work through that hurt so you can heal and have JOY again. God wants us to live joyful lives and you can, it is possible.
