review 1: I have to state up front that I would never have purchased this book, and in fact, I did not fully read the information before entering the contest to win it. It is an extremely Christian book. That being said, since I did win it, I felt I was obligated to read it and provide a review. So please kept that in mind. The book is like a bible study; the author provides many passages. It revolves around "forgiving" people and letting God met out any justice, in this life or the next. In between the extensive "stories" and bible quotes, there were a few good tidbits on forgiveness, but overall I just couldn't get past the religious aspects to benefit from this book.
review 2: Meyer makes a really great case for letting go of resentment and anger and forgiving those w... moreho've wronged you. It most definitely is written from the point of view of Christian teachings and makes an excellent case for Christians to re-examine themselves and really be sure they've forgiven people for trespasses and that they are really praying for their enemies as the Bible says they are supposed to do.And yet, even with its obvious christian angle, there is plenty that the non-believer (or active doubter) can pull from this to help them examine their own conscience and work on things they haven't let go of yet. I'm definitely recommending it to folks who are not completely put-off by Christian writings and I'm happy to say that despite this book's having come from a smaller religious press, I was able to check it out from my public library. less
