Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Forgive to Live
Dick Tibbits · 2006
82/100
👍 Worth It
What sets this book apart from the crowded forgiveness shelf is the peer-reviewed hypertension study — Tibbits published his findings in the Journal of Pastoral Care and Counseling, giving the health claims a clinical grounding most faith-based forgiveness books simply do not have. The step-by-step method is clear, the devotional companion extends the work, and a 10th Anniversary Edition signals real sustained readership. Faith-secular readers will want Luskin instead, but for Christian readers this is one of the strongest options in the genre.
