Forgiving What You Can’t Forget Book Review - A Life-Changing Journey of Healing and Forgiveness

Forgiving What You Can’t Forget: A Life-Changing Journey of Healing and Hope

Reading Forgiving What You Can’t Forget felt like having a mountain lifted off my shoulders. This book took me on an emotional journey that was both raw and transformative. At times I was utterly enthralled, while other times I grew so furious I had to step away—yet I was always pulled back, both hopeful and fearful of what the next page might ask of me.

I found myself stopping repeatedly to journal madly, pouring out my own struggles, and highlighting and annotating with a ferocity I’ve only ever brought to the Bible itself. 

This book broke me completely down and then, through Christ, offered me a path toward being rebuilt stronger, freer, and closer to Him.

Why This Book Matters:

Everyone should read Forgiving What You Can’t Forget, but I truly believe it finds each person when they most need it. If you are carrying the weight of unforgiveness, bitterness, or deep hurt, this book can be a light into that darkness.

A Transformative Path Through Forgiveness:

Lysa TerKeurst’s honest and faith-filled writing guides readers through the difficult process of forgiveness—not as a simple decision but as a journey requiring patience, grace, and spiritual strength. It’s okay to feel broken; it’s okay to feel angry. This book helps you navigate those feelings and move toward healing.

Final Thoughts:

If you are looking for a heartfelt, powerful read that offers hope and healing for difficult emotional wounds, Forgiving What You Can’t Forget comes highly recommended. May this book bring you peace, freedom, and closer connection with your faith as it did for me. God bless.
