Forgiveness….BY Matthew West
“It’s the
hardest thing to give away
The last
thing on your mind todayIt always goes to those who don’t deserve….”
Forgiveness…it’s the hardest thing to give…the hardest thing to ask
for. Matthew West has compiled stories
from Everyman to help guide the reader along the road to forgiveness. Written in such a way to bring in the most
hardened heart, West gives guidance to those seeking forgiveness. With sections titled “Forgiving Others,” “Asking
for Forgiveness,” “Forgiving Yourself,” and “Embracing God’s Forgiveness,” all
areas of forgiveness are addressed.
Bringing his songwriter’s skill to the pages of this book, Christian
songwriter, Matthew West beautifully takes the words of others, along with
faith-based instruction and, in doing so, has put together a book full of
advice and guidance for those struggling with the concept of forgiveness. The stories are short, easy-to-read and can
be read as a little pick-me-up or devoured in one setting.
The hardcover version of the book is beautiful to look at, hold and
read. It is not “just” a book, but, a
work of art. The stories by strangers
who have had their own struggles with forgiveness are touching and inspiring,
urging one to continue on the path seeking or giving the forgiveness needed.
