Hello Readers:

I am so excited to have my story published in the newly released book Chicken Soup for the Soul: The Forgiveness Fix. The book is now available for purchase and includes 101 true stories from people like me whose lives have been graced by the gift of forgiveness.

My story, “A Last Look,” describes my recent experience of visiting the street where I grew up and realizing that in the richness of love and friendships God has given me over the years, I could afford to forgive my abusive and unrepentant parents, now long deceased but still very much on my heart. In addition to forgiving parents, Chicken Soup for the Soul: The Forgiveness Fix deals with topics such as apologizing and moving forward, forgiving an ex-spouse, getting all the facts before you judge, and looking past an offense to understand the offender.

In this BOOK TRAILER, Chicken Soup editor Amy Newmark highlights three lessons about forgiveness that can be learned from stories presented in the book.

Hint: Is there someone on your Christmas list who could benefit from true stories about forgiveness? Consider ordering several copies so you can share the good news that forgiving really does heal.
