Publisher's summary

"The greatest measuring rod of love in the life of a Christian may be forgiveness, because God showed His love to us in terms of forgiveness." - John MacArthur

Does anyone really want to forgive? Or admit that we need forgiveness? Whether we're giving or receiving, forgiveness is hard. It seems unfair. It feels unnatural. And as best-selling author and Pastor John MacArthur demonstrates, forgiveness apart from Christ is unnatural. It is only as we understand our need, Christ's power and example, and what it really means to love that we can embrace two of the most liberating acts of love: forgiving and being forgiven.

The Truth About series:

For decades MacArthur has encouraged countless Christians to develop a deeper understanding of the Bible and a greater respect for God's truth. In the Truth About series, he now gathers his landmark teachings about core aspects of the Christian faith in one place. These powerful books are designed to give listeners a focused experience that centers on God's character and how it applies to their daily walk of faith.

Skewed Views about Mental Illness

If you have depression, do not read this book. The author seems to view depression as a choice. He describes a depressed individual as one who takes masochistic delight in being a victim. He appears to present depression as a spiritual infirmity. The symptoms represent the status of an individual's relationship with God. It seems the author lacks an understanding of what it is to experience depression. I believe "understanding" is what this author should seek before categorizing individuals based on his judgments and his experiences as he explores the condition's perimeter. I couldn't make it past the first chapter.
