How Can I Forgive You?: The Courage to Forgive, the Freedom Not To

This book offers a radical way for hurt parties to heal without forgiving and for offenders to earn genuine forgiveness.

Dr. Janis Abrahms Spring, a gifted clinical psychologist, proposes a life-affirming alternative to traditional forgiveness. She offers a powerful model for earning genuine forgiveness that requires as much from the offender as it does the hurt party.

- How do I forgive someone unremorseful or dead?

- When is forgiveness cheap?

- Can I heal without forgiving?

- How can the offender earn forgiveness?

- What makes for a good apology?

- How do we forgive ourselves for hurting others?
