The Forgiving Heart

This book provides a thoughtful and soul enhancing discussion of the way we see the world. It doesn't change the world around us but encourages an outlook that is tolerant and forgiving, an attitude that promotes a greater sense of peace and happiness

independent of circumstances

The forgiving heart experiences life with a bright, confident and accepting outlook. It is determined to overcome all challenges with optimism and faith. This concept of forgiving and willingly accepting all that the world has to offer bestows a kind of soul enhancing cheerfulness that brightens every passing day. It doesn't matter if there are aggravating people, bad weather, snarled traffic or any one of a thousand every day frustrations, the forgiving spirit refuses to be disheartened.

This accepting spirit illuminates one's entire view of life, bringing contentment, even joy, into a world overflowing with challenges. When every-day irritations come, and when deeply serious problems weigh heavily upon the soul, it is the accepting,

forgiving spirit that soothes and heals. Ultimately inner peace and happiness depend on how accepting we can be of the world in which we live and how willing we are to forgo the anger and bitterness that are bred by the unforgiving heart.

Assuming that all of us can brighten our worldly outlook, the book includes

illuminating real-life examples and provides helpful ideas that can plant and nurture a forgiving spirit.
