If I'm Forgiven, Why Do I Still Feel Guilty?

Look inside
“Why can’t you put it all behind you and forget it?” asks a well-meaning friend. But you’ve tried that, over and over again, and it hasn’t worked. Forgiving yourself is often harder than forgiving someone else.

This encouraging, reader-friendly book offers good counsel on how to:

• Distinguish true guilt from false
• Explore the nature of God’s forgiveness
• Resolve guilt through an eight-step plan
• Deal with conflict between yourself and others
• Prepare yourself emotionally and spiritually for the “next time”
 
The “Let It Hit Home” sections are designed to focus your own experiences, redirect harmful patterns, and further your healing process.
