ReviewsBonner brings the reader into a meditative journey, discovering many facets of forgiveness along the way. A delightful read., Barbara Bonner hit a grand-slam with Inspiring Forgi v eness ! This profoundly touching book feels like a soothing balm for the heart. It calms and comforts where we need it most, including forgiving ourselves., There may be nothing more challenging than to forgive what we believe to be unforgivable--it is one of the greatest acts of courage and love we can experience. In this brilliant book, Barbara Bonner has connected together an inspiring collection of stories and writing that guides us through this profound soul work. With care and vision she creates a pathway for us to recover the possibility and power in trusting our capacity to forgive and ultimately to love., Forgiveness is hard won. It takes everything, and we are not in charge of the timing of the process. We have to just be completely willing. Easy to say. In this treasury, Barbara Bonner walks us through many new ways and insights to forge a new relationship to forgiveness., What a wonderful illumination of the power of forgiveness Barbara Bonner has given us. The book's unique gathering of personal stories, poems, and quotations shows that forgiveness is not a momentary feeling but an attitude toward life, a practice of deep self-healing, and a path to freedom. Inspiring Forgiveness is aptly titled, for it does more than tell us about forgiveness, it inspires us to live it., This book, masquerading as an inspirational volume, urgently points to a quality essential to our well-being. While focused on forgiveness, this is but one instance of the broader value of learning to let go --of our regrets, grievances, petty preoccupations, distorted and self-serving stories--all of it. Letting go of our tendency to nurture our injuries is as imperative to emotional health as it is challenging. Bonner's eloquent examples of those who have suffered more than most of us can imagine point, again and again, to the very real possibility of forgiving, and its value for us, those who have been harmed. The volume itself is lovely in its abundant use of poetry, quotes, even the typesetting. But this loveliness should not be taken to suggest the topic is trivial; indeed it points to the absolute requirement of relearning kindness toward ourselves and others as a prerequisite for restoring peace to our world., Inspiring Forgiveness is a balm for this troubled world. It shows a path forward through the pain of harm and loss, opening new possibilities of love and freedom. This book actualizes its title: inspiring the great healing potential of forgiveness in all our lives., Read this book a little, and you will find a little forgiveness. Read this book completely, and you will free your heart., Inspiring Forgiveness is a book that has worked me into the bones of my integrity. I hate the difficulty of the process, yet love the life that holds it. This book invites a complex purifying aspect for us all--thus deepening our capacity to live together with greater freedom., This powerful book can defuse the most destructive bombs and clean the wounds caused by the shrapnel of anger., More than ever, our world needs the wise and healing reminders Barbara Bonner offers in this jewel box of a book. These beautiful stories, poems, and quotes will bathe and tenderize your heart., Inspiring Forgiveness is a beautifully designed contemplation on one of the best practices we have for healing and opening our hearts., Forgiveness is the enabler for healing and reconciliation between individuals, groups, and nations alike. In this beautifully crafted book, Barbara weaves together stories, poems, and quotes to inspire ways forgiveness can enrich our lives. May these words inspire many to lighten our hearts of anger, hatred, and the delusion of our separation.
SynopsisAn encouraging guide for the angry or heartbroken soul, in the form of uplifting stories and quotations. Sometimes forgiveness can feel unfathomable, unreachable, or even just plain wrong. Inspiring Forgiveness throws wide open the doors of possibility within the human heart with the wise words of philosophers, writers, poets, and great thinkers from across centuries and continents. Each offering can serve as guideposts along the path to bringing greater forgiveness into our lives. This book also tells the stories of real-world people--from the Dalai Lama to Congressman John Lewis and more--whose lives were changed forever by forgiveness, including for themselves. Just bearing witness to these experiences can itself be transformative. One wise teacher quoted in this book, Pema Chödrön, offers a simple practice for cultivating forgiveness: "First we acknowledge what we feel--shame, revenge, embarrassment, remorse. Then we forgive ourselves for being human. Each moment is an opportunity to make a fresh start." This book is a collection of those moments. Inspiring Forgiveness consists of twelve true stories of people who have endured great pain at the hands of others and have found a way to open themselves to forgiveness in its many forms. Each story is followed by extraordinary poems that speak to forgiveness as well as a collection of over 100 inspiring quotations.
