Product Details

About the Book

Have you ever felt stuck in a cycle of unresolved pain, playing offenses over and over in your mind? You know you can't go on like this, but you don't know what to do next. In Forgiving What You Can't Forget, Lysa TerKeurst shares her own wrenching journey through this exact struggle — drawing on her experience discovering her husband's infidelity, as well as earlier childhood pain — to explore how she learned to release bound-up resentment and overcome the resistance to forgiving people who aren't willing to make things right or ever say they're sorry.

Blending deep empathy, therapeutic insight, and rich Bible teaching from more than 1,000 hours of theological study, TerKeurst walks readers through a step-by-step process for moving on when the other person refuses to change, freeing themselves from the hurt of the past, and feeling less offended in the present. She distinguishes forgiveness clearly from reconciliation — arguing that forgiveness does not require an apology, fairness, or restored relationship, but rather means releasing the burden of resentment for one's own healing and freedom. Filled with biblical truth, gut-honest vulnerability, and refreshing wit, the book offers readers a path toward redemption in every part of their story, showing that hardship can become the very appointment the soul needs to encounter God more deeply.
