Publisher's Summary

How do I forgive?

Nobel laureate Archbishop Desmond Tutu has witnessed some of the worst crimes people can inflict on others. So wherever he goes, he inevitably gets asked this question. This audiobook is his answer. Writing with his daughter, Mpho, an Anglican priest, they lay out the simple but profound truths about the significance of forgiveness, how it works, why everyone needs to know how to grant it and receive it, and why granting forgiveness is the greatest gift we can give to ourselves when we have been wronged.

They explain the four-step process of forgiveness - Telling the Story, Naming the Hurt, Granting Forgiveness, and Renewing or Releasing the Relationship - as well as offer meditations, exercises, and prayers to guide the listener along the way.

"With each act of forgiveness, whether small or great, we move toward wholeness," they write. "Forgiveness is how we bring peace to ourselves and our world."

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Wow. Game changer.

Incredible stories of resilience, sorrow, joy and forgiveness. I hot some great tools to learn how to forgive myself and others, and a weight has been lifted just knowing that if someone was able to forgive the worst horrors imaginable, I could forgive my hurts too. This book gave me faith in myself.

The one thing I didn't like is the narrator's voices and impersonations. It was cheesy and over the top. I really didn't need a South African man with a deep voice to raise it and put on a fake Australian accent to get that he was reading an excerpt written be a young Australian woman .
