Critics Review
“Like the skilled surgeon of the Scriptures that he is, Robert Jeffress lays bare the cancerous tumor of unforgiveness and walks his reader through the confusing and sometimes thorny path to peace.”
-Howard G. Hendricks, Distinguished professor and chairman, Center for Christian Leadership, Dallas Theological Seminary
“Anger, hurt feelings, and even betrayal can emotionally and spiritually tie us in knots. Robert Jeffress shows us biblically and practically how to ‘untie the knots.’ If you’ve struggled with forgiving others, or even God, this is your book.”
-John Trent, PhD, author and speaker; President, Encouraging Words and StrongFamilies.com
“Dr. Jeffress makes sense out of giving forgiveness when it sometimes seems so senseless. With each page of this book, he opens the door to healing and grace.”
-Lew Parrott III, PhD, Seattle Pacific University; Author of The Control Freak
