Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
The 15-Minute Rule for Forgiveness
Caroline Buchanan · 2019
74/100
👍 Worth It
Buchanan's genius move is lowering the bar just enough — fifteen minutes feels manageable even when the emotional task feels enormous. The book covers both forgiving others and forgiving yourself with equal care, which many forgiveness books skip, and the warm conversational voice keeps what could be heavy material from feeling clinical. Readers wanting scriptural depth will need to look elsewhere, but as a secular starting point it is genuinely helpful.
