Restoring Relationships: The Importance of Forgiving and Being Forgiven By Ralph A. Gwinn In the process of becoming like Christ, there is one essential element that is often overlooked. Because we never get to the place where we no longer sin against God and against one another, forgiveness is essential to maintaining forward motions. In a very real sense, each of us is God's "great work," and He continues to work to make us better likenesses of Christ, both as individuals and together as the Body of Christ. But God's "problem" is that we aren't always as eager for that likeness as He is, and so we drag our feet. Some people even refuse to let Him start the process with them. This book is an attempt to help us understand what is involved in forgiveness, with a view to enriching our lives with God and with one another.

The Power of Forgiveness: Keep Your Heart Free By Joyce Meyer Best-selling Joyce Meyer shows people how forgiveness can unlock the prison or resentment, bitterness and ill health. When someone says, "I can forgive, but I cannot forget," they are really saying, "I will not forgive." Unforgiveness, resentment, and bitterness are spiritual maladies that keep many people from living a Spirit-filled life. Joyce Meyer says that keeping score of all the hurts we have suffered does more spiritual damage to us than those who have offended us. In face, we can suffer serious physical illnesses as a result of unforgiveness. Is it difficult to forgive? Absolutely, but the rewards are well worth it. In The Power of Forgiveness, Joyce Meyer reveals that when we choose to forgive others, we release ourselves from sin's power. The act of forgiving them allows God to work this will and our healing in the situation. Forgiveness in the power that will change life of defeat into one of victory.
