Forgiving My Father, Forgiving Myself - by Ruth Graham & Cindy Lambert (Paperback)

About the Book

Bestselling author and daughter of Billy Graham reveals how she discovered the issue that kept her from forgiving her father, learned how to forgive and found freedom, and shares how readers can take steps toward forgiveness in their own lives.

Book Synopsis

When we live with unresolved anger or hurt, the result is nearly always bitterness, broken relationships, and unhealthy behaviors. Unforgiveness not only sabotages our interactions with those around us, it impedes our own spiritual growth and inner peace. And it can happen to anyone.

In her most vulnerable writing yet, Ruth Graham reveals how a visit to Angola Prison inspired her to release the unforgiveness lurking in her own heart--toward others, herself, and even her heavenly Father and her earthly father, evangelist Billy Graham. In this encouraging book, she weaves her own personal experiences with biblical examples to explore what holds us back from forgiving others and ourselves--and what we gain when we finally discover the power to forgive. Along the way, she guides us into our own deeply personal experiences of forgiveness that will penetrate our protective walls and unleash true transformation in our lives.
