“If you are struggling with issues of betrayal—or the challenge of whether and how to forgive—here is the most helpful and surprising book you will ever find on the subject.”—Harriet Lerner, Ph.D., author of The Dance of Anger Everyone is struggling to forgive someone: an unfaithful partner, an alcoholic parent, an ungrateful child, a terrorist. This award-winning book provides a radical way for hurt parties to heal themselves—without forgiving, as well as a way for offenders to earn genuine forgiveness. Until now, we’ve been taught that forgiveness is good for us and that good people forgive. Dr. Janis Abrahms Spring, a gifted clinical psychologist and award-winning author of After the Affair, proposes a radical, life-affirming alternative that lets us overcome the corrosive effects of hate and get on with our lives—without forgiving. She also offers a powerful and unconventional model for earning genuine forgiveness—one that asks as much of the offender as it does of the hurt party. Beautifully written and filled with insight, practical advice, and poignant case studies, this bold and healing book offers step-by-step, concrete instructions that help us make peace with others and ourselves, while answering such crucial questions as these: How do I forgive someone who is unremorseful or dead? When is forgiveness cheap? Can I heal myself – without forgiving? How can the offender earn forgiveness? What makes for a good apology? How do we forgive ourselves for hurting another human being?

Book Description
Forgiveness is a rather underrated virtue. No matter how long we've been learning to forgive, but we just don't. Sometimes, we can't forgive someone due to the harm they inflicted upon us. While sometimes, even when we have forgiven someone, we can't tell them. It is by far known that the truest creation of God has to go through one test in life, that of forgiving. Not every time do we forgive people, not every time we seek forgiveness. But what is important is, until when? The making of this book tells us, a few in this world, have truly forgiven and wish to walk on the crooked road of kindness.

When we cry out to the Lord, it is an act of despair and supplication; it is an expression of our faith and trust in God. -Stephen Miller, excerpt from chapter 3
