I Forgive You: Finding Peace and Moving Forward When Life Really Hurts

Life gets messy sometimes. When relationships break down and you’re deeply hurt, it can feel impossible to move forward. But the Bible has wisdom for a way through.

Using the story of Joseph and his brothers as a model, author Wendy Alsup explores what repentance, forgiveness and reconciliation can look like, even in extremely difficult circumstances. Readers will see that peace, freedom and fruitfulness really are possible, even when certain things can’t be fixed.

Readers will also be encouraged by the reminder of God’s ultimate plan for reconciliation and can look forward to being part of it in the new creation.

Includes present-day examples and stories of lives transformed by the power of forgiveness, including the author’s own struggles.
