About this listen

How do I forgive?

Nobel laureate Archbishop Desmond Tutu has witnessed some of the worst crimes people can inflict on others. So wherever he goes, he inevitably gets asked this question. This audiobook is his answer. Writing with his daughter, Mpho, an Anglican priest, they lay out the simple but profound truths about the significance of forgiveness, how it works, why everyone needs to know how to grant it and receive it, and why granting forgiveness is the greatest gift we can give to ourselves when we have been wronged.

They explain the four-step process of forgiveness - Telling the Story, Naming the Hurt, Granting Forgiveness, and Renewing or Releasing the Relationship - as well as offer meditations, exercises, and prayers to guide the listener along the way.

"With each act of forgiveness, whether small or great, we move toward wholeness," they write. "Forgiveness is how we bring peace to ourselves and our world."

From victim to hero

This is one of the most life changing books I have read on personal growth. It gives hope and meaning to our lives on such a complex topic as forgiveness. Highly recommended. I will be buying the hard book to refer to it when needed.

Great book that helped me feel less of a victim

I enjoyed the content very much! the male narrator was hard to listen to at times , but overall great book that I will most likely listen to again. there are some great jewels to learn from that sometimes require more time to process.

Practical and Profound

If Desmond Tutu can forgive all of the trauma and horrors he has experienced, you can, too!
