Read Full Summary
In this broken world we are all touched by shame, guilt, and difficult relationships. But God has a better way. Whether you are in need of the forgiveness and new life that Jesus extends to each of us, or you are longing for relationships that are free from blame and strife, this book is for you. Through the lens of God’s Word plus real-life stories, You Are Forgiven poignantly reminds readers that what Jesus did on the cross is the only thing that frees us from the prison of unforgiveness.
In Love God Greatly’s 8-week You are Forgiven Online Bible study, you’ll learn about how Jesus obtained for us the forgiveness of sins and what that means in our everyday lives. We’ll examine many of the different facets of forgiveness, including: Why do we need it? How do we get it? What is the extent of our forgiveness, and how should it change us?

Free to Forgive: A Story of Healing from Abuse

The Forgiven, Forgive…
THE FORGIVEN, FORGIVE... The verses for today are taken from the Lord’s Prayer. We are so familiar with it that if we're honest, we would admit that it really doesn't mean all that much to us when we read or say it. I know I have felt that way. But the Lord’s Prayer...

The Impossible Happened…A Story of Forgiveness
Seven years ago, life was a mess. My husband, Ari, grew up Jewish, and declared he didn’t believe in God anymore. I was a Christian—and a very imperfect one at that. We were constantly at odds with each other. I couldn’t have a Bible in the house without starting a...
