How to Forgive…When You Don’t Feel Like It
When someone hurts us, our natural response is to strike back. Rather than let go, we cling to our rocks of resentment, our boulders of bitterness. The result? We struggle under the weight of unforgiveness.
Though we know God has called us to forgive others, we find ourselves asking:
- What if it hurts too much to forgive?
- What if the other person isn’t sorry?
- How can I let someone off the hook for doing something so wrong?
Biblical counselor June Hunt has been there herself, enabling her to speak from experience as she offers biblical help and hope with heartfelt compassion. If you’ve been pinned down under a landslide of pain, here’s how to find true freedom through forgiveness.
Editorial Reviews
Review
“You can always trust June
Hunt to take us right to God’s Word for answers to tough issues. How to
Forgive…When You Don’t Feel Like It is an excellent resource for
anyone who has been hurt or wounded. I am confident this book will bless you as
you seek the ‘freedom of forgiveness’ that only Christ can provide.”
—Dr. Richard Land, president, The Southern
Baptist Convention’s Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission
“Just as love is a verb,
not a feeling—so is forgiveness. If we forgave based on feelings, we would
never forgive any injustice done to us and most likely we would never be
forgiven for an injustice we committed. But God has shown us, by example, how
to forgive. June Hunt has provided us a personal and powerful tool in learning
to forgive. Read How
to Forgive…When You Don’t Feel Like It and leave the rocky coast
of resentment for everlasting freedom.”
—Tim Wilkins, director of Cross Ministry
