Like an old, frayed blanket there are many loose threads in our relationships. Issues and conflict divide us from family, friends, and innumerable people we encounter throughout life. The process of forgiveness is necessary to restore and rebuild those relationships. This book deals with the process of forgiveness in a unique and refreshing way. Rather than simply explain the process, Portraits of Forgiveness tells stories from the Bible that show how God works in the lives of people to bring about forgiveness and reconciliation. These stories present injustice, betrayal, evil, fear and many other issues in which forgiveness is essential but seems elusive.

After looking at the stories of forgiveness, the process is explained by drawing on the ideas and principles from each story. The final chapter presents frequently asked questions that will help you deal with specific issues that arise in working through forgiveness.
