Why is it that the people closest to us often cause the deepest, most wrenching pain?
Family can either provide restful refuge or prompt you to find it elsewhere. A quick channel-surf through daytime television illustrates that! From the petty irritation to the grievous wrong, forgiving is one of the hardest tasks families face.
The gospel calls us to love and forgive others. Ironically, the closer we are to people, the harder it is to forgive them. After all, we count on these people to love and accept us unconditionally. But family behavior is far from flawless. Spouses quarrel, siblings pout, grandparents criticize, cousins judge.
When the last nerve frays, look out! A house of love quickly turns into a house of pain.
"Family experiences are a mixture of beauty and tragedy," writes Fischer. "When we grasp this truth, we understand why forgiveness is such an essential part of family life and Jesus' message. The gospel reminds us that redemption happens right here in the give-and-take of ordinary family life."
Each chapter of Forgiving Your Family contains real-life stories, practical strategies, and encouragement to help you move toward forgiveness. Better communication (while critical) isn't enough, according to Fischer. Forgiveness takes faith and prayer.
Combining psychological, practical, and theological insight, Fischer will lead you to discover
the true meaning of forgiveness (rather than the myths)
why you need to forgive
ways to deal with anger and avoid revenge
how to protect yourself while easing into forgiveness
the difference between forgiveness and reconciliation
how to let go of hurts and live
Whether you need to forgive someone in your family or you counsel families as a part of your work, Forgiving Your Family is an indispensable tool.
