Many of us have been taught that
forgiveness is a choice and we are to choose to forgive. As a result, we may
try to muster up enough willpower to offer forgiveness to someone who has
wounded us. It can make us feel good about ourselves for a while, until that
determination to forgive subsides and we are faced with those same feelings of
unforgiveness all over again.
Nancy sees forgiveness as being a
miracle not a choice. While we cannot create miracles, we can experience them —
even the miracle of forgiveness. This book takes a powerful look at the miracle
of forgiveness, and how that miracle can become our reality. In the end we will
not be asking ourselves, “Do I choose to forgive?” but rather, “Am I able to forgive?”
We will learn to look to God — the one who is able to make us able.
