Forgiveness is a door. It's the way to peace and joy. But it's a small door, and it can't be entered without stooping—or kneeling. And sometimes it is very hard to find.

When we hurt the people we love, how do we go about restoring the relationship?

When we suffer the pain of betrayal or injury or rejection from someone else, how do we deal with the anger and resentment we feel?

In this Bible Study, Douglas Connelly leads the way to help you discover, understand and practice what the Bible says about forgiveness.

This eight-session LifeGuide® Bible Study features questions for starting group discussions and for meeting God in personal reflection, together with leader's notes and a "Now or Later" section in each study.

For over three decades LifeGuide Bible Studies have provided solid biblical content and raised thought-provoking questions—making for a one-of-a-kind Bible study experience for individuals and groups. This series has more than 130 titles on Old and New Testament books, character studies, and topical studies
