Book Review: The Art of Forgiving
by_Lewis B. Smedes_O

As such, the average person really needs some help understanding what it means and how to make the right choices in responding to conflict situations. Lewis Smedes makes some very good points about what forgiveness is, what it is isn’t, and answers many questions people have about the process.
Smedes says there are 3 stages to the process including discovering the humanity of the one who hurt us, surrendering our right to get even, and revising our feelings toward the one we forgive. This process is especially relevant in a culture that is often caught up in either/or extremes.
