what have I been reading?

One of the things I have been trying to do while not using the internet is to do more reading.

One of the books I've read is called forgiven by Terri Roberts.

details of book here.

It is written by the mother of a man who committed a terrible act. The book plots her emotional and relationship challenges in the fall out of the event. I have never wept while reading a book like I did with this one. The embodied message of forgiveness is deeply humbling. I remember mentioning the forgiveness of this story in a sermon many years ago, but this book gave deeper insight into the journeys of those involved. Forgiveness is not easy, but this book highlights the fruit and healing which comes from making the hard and difficult choice to forgive.
