Description

Free-spirited insight and five colorful Bible stories usher women in crisis into their own stories of hope, healing, and triumph over darkness.

Overview

The relationship between the effects of trauma and the Christian imperative to forgive has not yet been clarified in faith and outreach communities.

Status quo asserts forgiveness is a choice—feelings catch up later. And yet, beneath this simple statement, a host of complex realities exist for folks suffering the emotional aftermath of abuse, injustice, and grievous betrayal.

Drawing from personal experience and steeped in the tenets of her faith, founder, Wendy Redroad, illustrates the unique role of “the passions” (love and hatred, desire and fear, joy, sadness, and anger) in forgiving what will not be forgotten.
