The Scandal of Forgiveness: Grace Put to the Test

The healing of our broken world starts with forgiveness.

You may believe you are a forgiving person, but do you truly understand the depth of what forgiveness demands?

Forgiveness is an unnatural response, which may explain why it is so difficult. When we feel wronged, we can contrive a hundred reasons not to forgive. Family feuds, racial hostility, and even wars trace back to a lack of forgiveness. Why, then, would God make this unnatural act so central to the Christian faith?

In The Scandal of Forgiveness, award-winning author Philip Yancey probes the nature of forgiveness—what it looks like and what makes it so challenging. Only by living in the flow of God's grace will we find the strength to respond with compassion toward others.

Forgiveness is the beginning and ending of grace.
