Embodying Forgiveness: A Theological Analysis by L. Gregory Jones

What a truly hard book; not because of the writing, but because of the practice. Embodying Forgiveness is a trus theological approach and is not an easy path nor is it the culture in which we live, where we swear to always remember and never forget. Jones reminds us that forgiveness is not only freedom for those forgiven, but for those who forgive. It's not easy and Jones makes to claims that it is. Good book.
