| Introduction | My photo tells you I've been around a while,in academia, private practice, and writing. In 1986 forgiveness became my passion. Since then, excellent books in this area have mushroomed, but I really think mine do something the others don't do. Most focus on the advantages of forgiving. I'll admit, I think forgiving has a lot going for it. But I also know it's a tough process of deciding how to react to an offense in a way that puts the control of your life back into your hands. Sometimes that even means deciding not to forgive. My books aim to help you through the process of deciding and then taking action -- at your own pace. When to Forgive came first. More recently I did Forgiving One Page at a Time, a kind of guided diary with fewer pages. I wish you'd check them out at my web site or at a bookseller like Amazon.com. Let me know what you think. And oh, how I hope you'll get hold of a copy of Mrs. Job. People are liking it, discussing it in book clubs and bible study groups. Let me know what you think. |
| Interests | Forgiveness,restorative justice,travel, family, theater, concerts. |
| Favorite movies | I confess, I see movies only when I'm with my son or my daughter. My thing with movies, or even TV shows, is that I enjoy them while they're on, and then forget that I've even seen them. Not like my former husband who knew as soon as the intro music began what the movie was, who played in it, and even what year it came out. |
| Favorite music | I'm pretty much hopelessly devoted to the classics. |
| Favorite books | I'll be mentioning this when I blog |
