Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Wounds Not Healed by Time
Solomon Schimmel · 2004
83/100
👍 Worth It
Schimmel does something genuinely rare — he brings serious Abrahamic theology, psychological rigor, and historical honesty into the same conversation about forgiveness without flattening any of them. Publishers Weekly was right to flag the personal tone alongside the scholarship; it's what keeps this from feeling like a textbook. Essential reading for anyone wrestling with forgiveness as a real moral question rather than a platitude.
