Forgiveness Is Really Strange

πŸ‘ Worth It

Forgiveness Is Really Strange pulls off something genuinely hard: making rigorous psychological research and real survivor testimony accessible through a comic-book format without trivializing either. The international translation into four languages and the Publishers Weekly notice confirm this is not a novelty project but a serious, well-executed book. For anyone working in education, counseling, or restorative justice β€” or simply trying to understand forgiveness in their own life β€” this is an unusually effective and humane guide.
