Have you ever been hurt so bad you felt forgiveness was not an option? Have you ever sought forgiveness and the offended person said no? Are you not able to forgive someone because they have passed on and you have lost your chance to reconcile?  This book, Forgiving the Unforgivable, . addresses these questions and more.
 
Dr. David Stoop is a licensed Clinical Psychologist offering answers to these questions with a Christian view point. Forgiveness is critical to healthy relationships, and healthy relationships are important to God. If you have ever struggled with forgiveness and reconciliation because someone has hurt you, someone continues to hurt you, you are the offender and now are seeking forgiveness, this book is crucial for you as a resource to guide you through the forgiveness process.
 
Common questions are answered such as: Are there situations when damage done by an offender is so severe that forgiveness is inappropriate? What if I am not ready to forgive? How can I know if the offender is sincere when seeking forgiveness and what if I still don't want to forgive? This book also guides you through the grieving process and the path of forgiveness. It tells us how to get out of a cycle of anger and bitterness that too easily entraps us and holds us hostage to those feelings.
 
You will learn that forgiveness is not a one time process, you may have to do it over and over again. You will learn that you do not have to wait for the other person to ask for forgiveness before starting the process, in fact some people may never ask.
 
  In an imperfect, fallen world where hurt is inevitable, we need God's principles and process of forgiveness. Using God's Word and his gift as a clinical Psychologist, Dr. Stoop clearly and efficiently lays out the process of forgiveness that will lead us to healthier more productive relationships that God requires of us.
