We have all heard stories like Mary Johnson's: in 1993, her son was murdered by her next-door neighbor. How could she forgive him?
Or we have heard of, or perhaps even shared in, Jillian's struggle. "I can't. I just don't think I can forgive him," she said in describing her marriage challenges. How could she forgive?
The honest truth is that forgiveness is hard. God's forgiveness and love are the foundation of our relationship with him, through Christ's blood. We know that we should forgive others, even up to 77 times. But it is hard. In Alive Again, Sarah acknowledges this difficult reality and uses scripture, anecdotes, and practical application to encourage us to let God's power work healing through forgiveness.
