Synopsis

Forgiveness: Key to the Creative Life begins with new information on how the brain operates in the process of forgivness. The book begins with the relation between field theory as it relates to understanding the brain. The book then develops a theory of forgiveness as a process demonstrated in both scripture and case studies. From a look at the Kennedy assasination, the Columbine and Amish school shootings, and individual experiences, the book demonstates the process of forgiveness as leading to creativity rather than a reactive life.
