“I can never forgive myself,” she said. “Every time I think about it, I get sick to my stomach.” I knew that feeling. I had felt it through my own failures and shortcomings. And I also knew I could help her, because I know that sometimes the hardest person to forgive is yourself.
The partial truth about us is hard to accept: We are flawed. We hurt those we love. We fail to step in when others need us most. We do wrong—and we need forgiveness. From others, from God, but also from ourselves.
But the *full* truth about us is liberating and freeing: While we are more deeply flawed than we can imagine, we also are far more valuable and cherished than we can comprehend. To reach the place where we can forgive ourselves, we must recognize and embrace this life-changing truth. Our flawed nature is more than matched by the overwhelming, remarkable, and unsurpassed value that God ascribes to us. The gift of God’s welcome, His embrace, and His acceptance is the truth that frees us from self-blame, guilt, and shame. And embracing this certainty is the healing balm that takes the sting out of our past mistakes and brings true self-forgiveness.
In this practical, inspiring book, Dr. Everett Worthington weaves his own story of struggling with his brother’s suicide and his overwhelming feelings of regret, together with psychological insight, scientific research, and biblical truth. He identifies six steps to forgiving yourself and opens a clear path to freedom from self-condemnation to self-acceptance and most importantly, to the full life that Christ promises.

I like a 'self help' book that is grounded in scriptural precepts and biblical virtues. This book encourages the reader to start the journey by receiving God's forgiveness, after some reflection and self-forgiveness. It then moves outward towards the reparation of relationships, thoughts and emotional life, restoring our value and then a resolve to live differently. I like that it wasn't mired in spiritual mumbo-jumbo like some other books that cater to the same kind of situations. Everett also works through his own brother's suicide which left him shattered, and the personal insight and empathy make this one of the better books to read for the intended audience.
