About the Book

Forgiveness in a Cynical Age taps into a rich fountain of ideas from religion and communication to explore how we can forgive others that wrong us.

Using communication as a point of departure, the author challenges readers to take a journey with those who offend us. By accepting the wrongdoer and walking with them, we can forgive them—and it is in forgiving that we are also forgiven.

Steeped in wisdom from the Old and the New Testaments, the book considers questions such as:

How can we define forgiveness?

What do we gain by forgiving others?

How did the people in the Bible and other religions view forgiveness?

We all know that it takes a lot out of us to truly forgive someone, whether it is a small or heinous offense. By reading this book, readers will be better equipped to forgive those who have wronged them, offering wrongdoers the immeasurable love that comes out of forgiveness.
