About this audiobook
Lord, how many times must I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? —Peter, Matthew 18:21
We've all asked this question, especially when we've been hurt repeatedly by those close to us. But our pain in response to these hurts points to greater reality—we were created for something more!
Living Beyond Offense explores Jesus's teachings about forgiveness—what it is, what it costs, and what you gain when you put it into practice. Blending theology, Scripture, and pieces of her own life story, Yana Conner writes not as a blameless expert but as a fellow traveler on the forgiveness journey. With deep compassion and biblical insight, Yana will help you identify culture's unhelpful scripts and mantras and replace them with Jesus's call to something better; resolve conflicts by applying best practices for evaluating and communicating hurt; and move through the pains of abandonment, betrayal, and abuse using a theological framework that avoids cliche.
Forgiveness is hard work, but you can learn to trust again! Despite the pain you've experienced, you will find ideas and encouragement for rooting yourself in God's trustworthiness and living in shalom once more.
