"This book is a masterpiece... a wise and practical guide through the pain, anger, betrayal, and confusion which may bind us." -- Hanoch McCarty, Ed.D. associate professor, Cleveland State University, and member, Board of Trustees, National Council for Self-Esteem THE EXPERTS AGREE: FORGIVENESS CAN HELP US ALL Envy, hostility, self-doubt, the nagging awareness that something is weighing us down... these are the telltale signs that the hurts we have collected over time have, at last, grown too heavy to bear. But we can put our emotional baggage aside -- once we know there's another way to travel. In this life-changing guide, Sidney and Suzanne Simon point the way through the perplexing maze of our own repressed emotions. Then, following the same six-stage program that forms the basis of their internationally known "forgiveness workshops," they lead us on the ultimate journey: through the phases of self-blame and denial; past the dead-end streets of anger, resentment, and guilt; to the crossroad where pain and isolation end... and unconditional love begins.
