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.
