Or are there situations when Christians do not need to forgive?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIs forgiveness a matter between individuals, or is it meaningful only in the context of communities?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIs forgiving the best route to healing for the injured?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow do we get past emotional barriers to real forgiveness?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eUsing biblical examples and real-life situations, Thompson illustrates each chapter's theme in an informative and engaging way.
