You deserve to stop suffering because of what other people have done to you.
Have you ever felt stuck in a cycle of unresolved pain, playing offenses over and over in your mind? You know you can't go on like this, but you don't know what to do next. Lysa TerKeurst has wrestled through this journey. But in surprising ways, she’s discovered how to let go of bound-up resentment and overcome the resistance to forgiving people who aren’t willing to make things right.
With deep empathy, therapeutic insight, and rich Bible teaching coming out of more than 1,000 hours of theological study, Lysa will help you:
Learn how to move on when the other person refuses to change and never says they're sorry.Walk through a step-by-step process to free yourself from the hurt of your past and feel less offended today.Discover what the Bible really says about forgiveness and the peace that comes from living it out right now.Identify what's stealing trust and vulnerability from your relationships so you can believe there is still good ahead.Disempower the triggers hijacking your emotions by embracing the two necessary parts of forgiveness.
Look for additional biblically based resources and devotionals from Lysa:

Customer Reviews
Great book
I enjoyed this and learned a lot of great tools to deal with hurt.
Need. An. Editor. And. A. Professional. Voice. But otherwise not bad.
To the author: congratulations on a well-researched and well-meaning book on a difficult topic, a topic which deserves much more attention than it tends to garner. Over all I think the message is sound and can be helpful.
2 pieces of constructive criticism:
1) you need a better editor: the book is overly wordy, meandering and somewhat indirect in reaching its ends. You need a skilled editor to better trim the fat out of the writing and to better streamline the message
2) for the audiobook: you need to hire a professional to recite it. Your reading style — while I’m sure comes from your heart — is overly plaintive and pleading. It’s grueling to listen to your dramatic pauses, sometimes sounding like a period. After. Each. Word.
Thank you for writing it.
Maybe a revised edition could correct the flaws.
Was not what I was expecting
It was a very hard listen and found it hard to follow.
