Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
The Forgiveness Book
D. Patrick Miller · 2017
71/100
👍 Worth It
Miller brings real depth to forgiveness as a practice, drawing on two decades of personal work and a broad spiritual toolkit that spans Sufi, Buddhist, Jungian, and Christian traditions. Readers with a strictly evangelical framework may find the A Course in Miracles roots uncomfortable, and the interfaith blend won't be for everyone. Those open to eclectic spirituality will find the seven-step structure practical and the exercises genuinely useful.
