The Art of Forgiveness
The Art of Forgiveness is a practical handbook for getting past anything without letting anyone off the hook.
“This book is short and sweet and I love the simple format. Reverend Wild gets right to the point of sharing her personal story and follows up with research and practical, easy-to-understand (and follow) guidance for healing from trauma, forgiving others (for yourself, not for them) and moving on with life. Excellent book.”
Reactions to The Art of Forgiveness
-
"I have a past somewhat similar to what the author describes, and because our society does not allow free and open discussion of these matters, I have been so burdened by pain, anger, and self-harm, and have received very little direction on how to leave that all behind me. I appreciate Wild's bravery and honesty in sharing her story of transcending this kind of past. I enjoyed her use of neuroscience, explained in an approachable way, to validate the ruminating, repetitive, and not necessarily helpful thought patterns that many of us experience. While my belief system is very agnostic, even her more spiritual content provided peaceful, pleasant thoughts to meditate on."

"Turn it over. Let it go. You're only hurting yourself if you don't forgive. Be the better person. I've heard all of these and perhaps you have to. But rarely have I read a clear, approachable and most important doable explanation of how to do so. Reverand Wild provides a convincing and actionable method for freeing yourself while maintaining your dignity and self respect (which may have been battered by the very people you'd like to forgive) so you can have a brighter future."

"Reverend Wild's book offers a generous and affirming path to those looking for a way to heal. Her voice is straight forward, strong and hopeful as she shares lessons learned from her own experience. Reading her book is like having a loving big sister urge you forward in life saying, "I see you. I love you. And I know you can do it."

"I picked this book up did not put it down until I had finished, even though I was at the end of a very tiring day. It was an engaging, honest and beautiful read, which absolutely resonated with me. I believe this is a book about the art of living. I have to say I was really interested in the spiritualist viewpoints—they were subtle and I have read further on it. Reading this book was a wonderful and timely affirmation. Bravo"!

"This book is really moving. The author has clearly been through a lot and worked hard to get to a place of peace with everything. The events were described so vividly I was riveted and shocked. There were some unexpected and enlightening ideas about the body/mind connection, particularly fascinating was the incredibly simple way she described the chemical reactions that occur within our cells that lead to us repeating (often damaging) behaviour. Although I am not a victim of abuse, this book will help me avoid negative thought processes and damaging behaviour. "

"She clearly lays out HOW to forgive, unlike many others who claim to understand the process. This book is going to help a lot of people."
