Desmond and Mpho write about the four step process of forgiveness - telling the story, naming the hurt, granting forgiveness and renewing or releasing the relationship. They remind us by sharing their own experiences with Apartheid and others' experience with tragic losses and wrongdoings that no one is beyond forgiveness, and that radical forgiveness can happen in healthy, sustainable ways.

Desmond and Mpho cover forgiving others, asking for forgiveness, and forgiveness of self. The material covered in this book is accessible and powerful - it's not overly complicated, and it's clear from their experiences that they have done this work as well, along with assisting countless numbers of others in the walk to forgiveness. The meditations in this book are absolutely stellar - I'm usually not a fan of these, but they are so well thought out.

If you are looking for a book on forgiveness, this is it. Desmond and Mpho are Christians, but the Christian language is very mild in this book - it is accessible to anyone looking to understand forgiveness. This probably a book I'll come back to several times.
