Do Yourself a Favor...Forgive: Learn How to Take Control of Your Life Through Forgiveness

She is an incredible writer/speaker and I think this book is very beneficial for all those who seek guidance for inner peace.

A very powerful book that helped me get out of depression due to abusive relationship!I had been abused in many ways by my husband and though I tried very hard, it was very difficult for me to be free from all the painful memories. I would often wonder, 'Why would God just let him be when he is so destructive and evil?'At one point, I did have to run away from him with our child for the sake of sanity as well as safety. Life became frustrating because I am in no man's land - not divorced, not separated, yet I'm practically a single mother in every sense.I read Karen's post and totally understand what she's saying about the danger of reconnecting with dangerous exes. I believe that God will never force us to meet and reconnect with husbands or exes unless hearts are ready and God's timing is ripe. I believe what Joyce is saying here is to prepare our hearts the way God wants us to so that He can work in our relationships and bring healing.It takes a lot of effort on my part to finally accept and say that despite what happened, God is good and His goodness and faithfulness will prevail in this mess of my life.After reading this book, I was able to set aside all the excuses. Finally, I decided and declared that I forgive and bless my husband and let the past pass. It does not mean I am running back to him right now because he, unchanged and unrepentant, will definitely harm me.It just means I am not gonna spend nights crying, hurting, and hating my husband. I am so tired of it and I want to be free. I have no idea how long I have to live like this, but I will put my hope and trust in God - something I could not do prior to reading this book.I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to take off huge burdens of offenses, anger, turmoils, and painful memories resulted by strained relationships: While they never just disappear,it feels so much better and lighter to set them aside and let God take care of these heavy loads.Joyce is right, we must forgive because God commands us to forgive as the ones who are forgiven. But in the process, we will realize that we are actually doing ourselves a huge favor by forgiving... Freedom from depression, self-pity, and pain!

Joyce Meyer is always an inspiration and I have learned a lot about the importance of forgiving others so the Lord will forgive you!!Every born again believer should read this book!

This is the best book I've ever read on forgiveness. Well written and easy reading style. Author covers forgiveness from every angle giving an in depth christian teaching on the topic. The author, Joyce Meyer, speaks from her own life experiences to enhance our understanding. I've read several of her books and have never been disappointed. I highly recommend this book and this author.

This book is packed with powerful scriptures and insights. You'll be highlighting away as she breaks down how you only hurt yourself with unforgiveness in your heart, and how you can have the power of peace in spite of your enemies. I had to take one star off because she oftentimes related things back to her husband, which is great but there are other meaningful relationships that we have that help us grow.

I needed to learn how to forgive people in my past life. A year and a half ago I lost my twin sister of 67 years. Now I was angrier. How could a loving God do this to me? One day I turned on tv and watched Joyce Meyers. She taught me so much and had a funny side to her. I related to her and soon was buying many of her books. I started to read the bible and reading her books. This particular book helped me to understand my anger and I was able to let it go. I feel so much better and happier and feel a big burden off my heart. I am glad that God put Joyce Meyers in my path, her books have helped me so much!

Joyce Meyer é uma mulher tremendamente usada por Deus. Seus livros sempre tem o poder de "falar conosco" desde que estejamos dispostos a isso. Esse título em específico é leitura obrigatória para quem tem dificuldade em perdoar, questões com mágoas e sentimentos que no final apenas nos prejudicam para termos uma maior conexão com Deus.
