Award-winning author Lewis B. Smedes for the first time shows how anyone can tap the power of forgiveness to achieve healthier relationships and peace of mind. 'Forgive and Forget' explains and then takes us step by step through the four stages of forgiveness: hurting, hating, healing, and reconciliation. It provides solid guidelines for freeing ourselves from the burden of hurts we don’t deserve and for reclaiming the happiness that is ours.
