Forgiving A Good Man

Abuse, Shame and the Uncommon Journey to Freedom "I've eaten from dumpsters, and I've dined with kings; but neither is all that satisfying." In Forgiving a Good Man, Mark Goodman shares how his journey from homelessness was overshadowed by abuse and its aftermath; that is until he found freedom through the practice of forgiveness. Mark's journey began in an abusive home with his three older brothers. Mark's formative years were filled with shouting voices, flying fists, and sexual abuse behind closed doors. Life on the streets brought adventure and spiritual awakening but fresh trauma after a fateful night hitchhiking across the country. Everyone who has suffered trauma, abuse, or is struggling to overcome the emotional pain of life knows that false platitudes don't heal the hurt. Weaving its life-changing lessons alongside Mark's gripping narrative, this book offers actionable steps to discover your personal path to freedom. If you want to know how to forgive the unforgivable, this book is for you. Mark Goodman is the founder of 70x7-Path to Forgiveness, a nonprofit founded to promote the message of freedom through forgiveness. Mark's sharing of his very personal and poignant account in this book is part of a much larger campaign that includes a feature film, documentary, speaking projects, and curriculum designed to inspire people to pursue their own personal journey of forgiveness.
