Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
How Can I Forgive?
Joretta L. Marshall · 2005
70/100
👍 Worth It
Marshall brings real academic credentials in pastoral theology to a topic that most small groups dance around — and the seven-session structure means a church adult-ed director can plug this in without much planning. At 91 pages it's short, and it won't satisfy anyone wanting deep theology, but as a structured entry point to a difficult conversation it does the job.
