In my writing, speaking, and traveling, there is probably no topic that has generated more discussion, concern, and ‘aha’ moments than forgiveness.

Forgiveness is at, or near, the heart of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

And yet, there is probably no Christian practice that is so misunderstood and misapplied.

This series is about reclaiming the theology and practice of biblical forgiveness. The hope is that you will receive a deeper, richer, and more enduring understanding of what it means to forgive others as God forgives.

Here is what one person says about “Reclaiming Forgiveness”:

This entire series has been a huge blessing to me. Peace and harmony. How I love that!”  (J. H., Canada)
