About Calm Surrender: Walking The Hard Road Of Forgiveness
Product Description In a compelling argument for the need for forgiveness in a frequently unjust world, the author of Simple Truths shares the personal experiences of individuals mistreated by the modern world, who found new meaning in their lives through the difficult path to forgiveness. 30,000 first printing. Amazon.com Review Forgiveness is indeed a hard road. Fortunately, author Kent Nerburn has the grit to face it head on, inspiring forgiveness even as he acknowledges all the human horrors that seem impossible to forgive. Nerburn is not a preacher speaking from the distant pulpit, he is an accessible narrator speaking from life experience with as much honesty, wisdom, and compassion as he can muster. He tells stories of raw, seemingly unforgivable acts--a drunken father diminishing his daughters, the devastating effects of the Exxon Valdez oil spill, his 90-year-old mother-in-law withering in excruciating pain while bureaucrats deny her medical care, a chained and abused spotted puppy. Within these stories Nerburn bushwhacks paths of forgiveness. He shows us when forgiveness requires blind faith, when it demands an act of bravery, when it boils down to forgiveness of self, when it requires a search--finding that small beam of light in a bleak and dense jungle of rage and grief. This books reads like a conversation between friends (although it weights heavily toward Christianity) and is especially appropriate for readers who are grappling with rage, despair, and the challenge of forgiveness. --Gail Hudson
