The beauty and attractiveness of Grove Books is that they cover big subjects in a short span.
This one, dealing with forgiveness, is no exception. In just 24 pages, Jonathan Baker illuminates this central theme of the Christian faith.
As well as highlighting misuse and misunderstanding of forgiveness, he alerts us to fraud in forgiveness in addition to laying the theological foundation for its practice both in relation to God and humankind and to the, often troubled, interactions between human beings.
A preacher preparing to preach on forgiveness, whatever the occasion, would find ample inspiration and help in the wisdom to be found in this booklet.
