Unpacking Forgiveness by Chris Brauns

Chris Brauns, who pastors a church in Stillman Valley, Illinois, and who is the son of a lady in our church, has written a terrific book on the subject of forgiveness. I highly recommend it. Here is my review from amazon.com: Many Christian people who have been offended wonder what to do regarding the matter of forgiveness. Didn't Jesus, looking upon His tormentors from the elevated view of the cross, while experiencing excruciating pain that they had caused pray, "Father forgive them for they know not what they do?" Based upon the example of God, how are we to forgive? Unpacking Forgiveness shines the wonderful light of God's Word upon this question explaining the principles of biblical forgiveness with great precision and clarity. We learn that forgiveness is not conditional but conditioned upon repentance and faith in Christ. In an age full of error and faulty theological thinking, this book represents the study of a pastor who has studied to show himself approved unto God, a workman who needs not to be ashamed having rightly divided the Word of Truth. This book will be a tremendous help and provide valuable answers on forgiveness to those who choose to unpack its contents. Michael Mosier 10/22/2008
Happy trails to you!
