Forgiveness

by Nadya Kirkova

Genre: SELF-HELP/ General
Nadya is based in Footscray

About the Book:

To err is human. However, forgiving is divine. Forgiving takes you closer to God. It purges your soul.

It helps you get over pain. It helps you get over hurtful words, acts, and people. Moreover, authors often explore why we forgive and how it heals.

It is an end of a process of liberating yourself. Most importantly, it breaks the chains of victimhood. Forgiving is healing.

We usually associate forgiving with people who did something to hurt us. But forgiving is also about us – we have to forgive ourselves for being victimized. And, of course, we have to try to forgive ourselves when we were the ones to hurt other people. Or, have you ever thought to forgive yourself for your personal flaws and imperfections? Or, how about forgiving your fate and the way your life has evolved? Forgiving – so much needed and yet so much avoided. But once you get there, it is like a spring sun after a long and cold winter. It fills you with joy and hope for the future.
