The Book of Forgiving: The Fourfold Path for Healing Ourselves and Our World

How do I forgive? Nobel laureate Archbishop Desmond Tutu has witnessed some of the worst crimes people can inflict on others. So wherever he goes, he inevitably gets asked this question. This book is his answer. Writing with his daughter, Mpho, an Anglican priest, they lay out the simple but profound truths about the significance of forgiveness, how it works, why everyone needs to know how to grant it and receive it, and why granting forgiveness is the greatest gift we can give to ourselves when we have been wronged. They explain the four-step process of forgiveness- Telling the Story, Naming the Hurt, Granting Forgiveness, and Renewing or Releasing the Relationship- as well as offer meditations, exercises, and prayers to guide the reader along the way. With each act of forgiveness, whether small or great, we move toward wholeness, they write. Forgiveness is how we bring peace to ourselves and our world. ***Please contact Member Services for additional documents***

But the path to forgiveness is not easy, and the process unclear. How do we let go of resentment when we have been harmed, at times irreparably? How do we forgive and still pursue justice? How do we heal our hearts? How do we heal the harm we have caused others? And how do we forgive ourselves?Drawing on his memories of reconciliation in post-apartheid South Africa, Archbishop Desmond Tutu offers four concrete steps to forgiving and being forgiven:1) Admitting the wrong and acknowledging the harm2) Telling one's story and witnessing the anguish3) Asking for forgiveness and granting forgiveness4) Renewing or releasing the relationshipEach chapter contains reflections and personal stories, as well as exercises for practising each step of the path. The Book of Forgiving is a touchstone and tool for anyone seeking the freedom of forgiveness: an inspiring guide to healing ourselves and creating a more united world.
