Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Forgiveness Remembers
Paul Farren · 2017
Two men — a Catholic priest and a Protestant archdeacon — who have watched the cost of unforgiveness play out in real communities have something worth saying, and this book says it with more practical honesty than most forgiveness titles manage. The argument that healing requires grace-filled remembering rather than forgetting is both theologically grounded and emotionally true, and the discussion questions make it a natural choice for small groups. The audience is explicitly Christian, and secular readers will find the framework limiting.
