Putting Forgiveness into Practice Donnelly, Doris

Forgiveness is one of those things everyone agrees sounds nice — until you're the one who has to do it. Doris Donnelly cuts through the platitudes and gets practical: what does forgiveness actually look like when someone's hurt you, when you've hurt yourself, or when the wound feels too deep to heal? This isn't about forced reconciliation or spiritual bypassing. It's about the messy, difficult work of letting go without pretending the harm didn't happen. Donnelly writes with clarity and compassion, drawing on psychology, theology, and real human experience to show how forgiveness can be an act of strength, not weakness. Whether you're wrestling with a decades-old grievance or just trying to get through a rough week, this slim guide offers something rare: honest help. For anyone tired of carrying old weight.
