Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Getting Past Guilt
Joe Beam · 2010
78/100
👍 Worth It
Joe Beam's book squarely addresses one of the most common struggles in the Christian life — knowing you are forgiven without feeling forgiven — and it does so with a biblical foundation and practical pastoral warmth that a Howard Books imprint and significant media reach helped deliver to a wide audience. The faith framework is explicit and consistent, making this a natural fit for Christian readers and an equally natural non-fit for everyone else. Within its intended audience this is a well-credentialed, useful guide.
