Forgiving What You Can't Forget Bible Study Guide

If you've ever felt stuck in a cycle of unresolved pain, playing offenses over and over in your mind—if you've ever been hurt so badly that you don't know if you'll ever get past it—discover what the Bible really says about forgiveness and how to find the peace that comes from embracing it.

Forgiveness is a major part of the Christian faith. But how do we actually put it into practice when we're the ones who've been hurt? We know God commands us to forgive each other. But, apart from simply saying the words, "I forgive you," many of us have unasked questions about it:

• How does it work? On our minds, souls, circumstances—what's actually happening when we forgive?
• Why is it so important, and what's the difference between forgiveness and simply moving on?
• When should I forgive, and are their exceptions?
• How can I find healing for myself, even if my act of forgiveness doesn't seem to change the person who hurt me?

These are just some of the questions that bestselling author and teacher Lysa TerKeurst explores in this six-session video Bible study (DVD/digital downloads sold separately).

This study will walk with you on a step-by-step process--through biblical answers, deep empathy, and the therapeutic insight that comes from Lysa's personal experiences--toward the grace of forgiveness and the freedom from the pain of past wrongs.
