This seems like a very valuable iteration for many abused today. Knowing when to not apologize is empowering and powerful.NadineTimes10 wrote: ↑15 May 2018, 09:48 She describes what forgiveness is for but also what it is not for, which is essential knowledge for victims of abuse.
This, however, is disappointing to the broad public (as you've suggested). There is a very narrow margin of people who will relate to these idioms. Thank you for being so truthful and expository with your review.what does it mean for the “fire of God” to “consume” people? Is it a punishment or a blessing? What does it mean for “the enemy” to use a “foothold” against someone? What is an “alabaster box of worship”? For a lot of people, not all biblical and spiritual expressions are well-known, everyday phrases.

Thanks, Owlie! And I understand. I usually pass on books that sound disturbing for me, or I have to have a bit of a happy or "comfort" reading break or binge afterwards. I've got comfy books on my docket now.bookowlie wrote: ↑01 Jun 2018, 08:37 Thanks for a great review as always! I like that the author helps others by sharing her perspective based on her own experiences with abuse. The subject matter is a bit disturbing for my taste, but I am sure abuse survivors will find this book helpful and inspiring.
