Why Forgiveness Sucks (TM) Christopher Paul Elliott

Chris Elliott delivers an emotionally-powerful, real-life story about his abusive childhood and how he used it to uncover his authentic self by removing fear-based beliefs from his negative past experiences. And his four simple steps showed me how to deal with negative experiences from my childhood that have been holding me back from leading a richer, fuller life. Chris has found forgiveness for his late, abusive father. He has not only found peace but has rejected allowing his anger to control his actions toward his friends and family. Chris is genuinely a loving father and devoted husband, remarkably so, considering his relationship with his father and how most of us tend to follow in the footsteps of our parents. If you are struggling with forgiving someone who has done something terrible to you, keep reading this book. Holding on to unforgiveness is like taking poison and expecting it to kill the offender. Releasing the offense will free you to live without those offenses weigh you down. As paradoxical as it seems, holding on to past hurts only makes things worse.
