____________________________What it says

• Forgiveness is for you, not for your offender. It allows you to live in freedom and joy, regardless of what has gone before.
• You might be right, they do not deserve forgiveness. BUT, you forgive for yourself, for your benefit, and your peace of mind.
• The purpose of forgiving is for letting go of the negative emotions and thoughts that produce depression, resentment, and anger.
• At some level, harboring any resentment, large or small, affects your life and interactions with people.
• Gaining self-forgiveness is vital to your emotional happiness, spiritual connection, and physical health.. The book answers why we sabotage ourselves and how to deal with it.
• Forgiveness does not demand reconciliation. Reconciliation requires the deep work of rebuilding trust. Forgiveness is an excellent first step.
• Forgiveness is not a pardoning of bad behavior or the justification of an offense. You can forgive and set limits on bad behavior.
• You can forgive and choose to never see the other person again to protect against abusive behavior.
• You may wait forever for an apology because the person may have a different perspective.
• Forgive and forget is a myth. The brain is not set up to forget. Real forgiveness allows the upset to fade in the mind because it is no longer activated. Trying to forget about a hurt is not forgiveness but denial. The negative results of denial influence you in a gradual, subtle way, but with harmful effects under the surface of your mind, causing trouble for you when you aren't even aware of it.
