Everyday Forgiveness: Living as God’s Forgiven and Forgiving People

There is no avoiding having to forgive. Even Jesus, the one who never sinned, was still hurt by others and chose to forgive. We are called to follow his example, but forgiveness is the very definition of a thing easier said than done.

Richard Sweatman has been a pastor for many years and has seen the difficulty and hurt that comes with sinning and being sinned against. He has also become more and more convinced that there is no hope for peace between people without forgiveness from God. Everyday Forgiveness balances gentleness, biblical teaching and readability in order to be the go-to book for people in pain and needing God’s help with the effects of sin on relationships now.

This book takes what God says in his word about this close to-the-bone topic and reflects on what that looks like on both our easy and our hard days. Richard takes the hard questions of forgiveness and addresses them with pastoral sensitivity, recognising that it is often messy and difficult in practice but guiding us to the hope we have in Christ at all times.Read less
