"Written with grace and understanding and based on more than twenty in-depth interviews and stories as well as personal reflections from Schwarzenegger Pratt herself, The Gift of Forgiveness is about one of the most difficult challenges in life--learning to forgive. Here, Katherine Schwarzenegger Pratt shows us what we can learn from those who have struggled with forgiveness, some still struggling, and others who have been able to forgive what might seem truly unforgivable. The book features experiences from those well-known and unknown, including Elizabeth Smart, who learned to forgive her captors; Sue Klebold, whose son, Dylan, was one of the Columbine shooters, learning empathy and how to forgive herself; Chris Williams, who forgave the drunken teenager who killed his wife and child; and of course Schwarzenegger Pratt's own challenges and path to forgiveness in her own life. All provide different journeys to forgiveness and the process--sometimes slow and thorny, sometimes almost instantaneous--by which they learned to forgive and let go. The Gift of Forgiveness is a perfect blend of personal insights, powerful quotations, and hard-won wisdom for those seeking a way to live with greater acceptance, grace, and peace"-- Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

This book has stories from Elizabeth Smart, Sue Kleibold, victims of Larry Nassar, so on and so on. They all have something in common. They have been called on to forgive. Heinous acts have been committed to them. Forgiveness is a choice. Moving on is a choice.
The stories are inspiring. They are not Christian necessarily. But Katherine's background as both a Catholic (and Chris Pratt's Christianity) are evident in her feelings regarding the stories she shares. The book does get a bit redundant (I found myself skipping a few stories; I think there were a few too many). Still, it was a book I needed to read this 2020.
Oh boy. I feel like forgiveness has gone out of style right now ( )
