Forgiveness is commanded more often than it is examined, and most of us hold a vaguer idea of what it requires than we suppose. Patrick H. Morison shows vividly what forgiving actually involves, and why a forgiving spirit is crucial in our walk with God as well as in our relationships with others.

Morison has pastored Trinity Orthodox Presbyterian Church in Bothell, Washington since 1976, and the booklet reads like something worked out in that setting rather than in a study. Short and inexpensive, which makes it practical to hand to someone who is struggling to forgive a particular person, or who has been asking what it would even mean.
