Getting Bitter or Getting Better: Choosing Forgiveness for Your Own Good

Concerning forgiveness, C.S. Lewis once commented: “Everyone says forgiveness is a lovely idea until they have something to forgive…”

Getting Bitter or Getting Better helps the reader make that leap from lovely idea to life-giving action in choosing forgiveness for your own good.

In a comprehensive and congenial style, the author maps a journey that challenges and encourages the reader at each progressive stage. The track includes discussion of resistance to therapeutic forgiveness, recognising the need to forgive, beginning with self-forgiveness, becoming a forgiving person, and forgiveness-healing and growing. Far from dry or clinical, the author brings a warm sense of humour to this challenging subject. The wit and wisdom of David W. Schell is certain to encourage all to aspire to the “major league” of unconditional forgiveness.
