This book provides much needed teaching on forgiveness. With great clarity and sensitivity Fr Barker addresses the deep questions that arise in our hearts when we have been the victims of violence, or when we have been deeply hurt by a betrayal of trust. "Why forgive when a grave injustice has been done against me?" "How can I forgive when they don’t deserve it?" "Does forgiving someone mean I have to forget?" "When I forgive do I have to excuse the one who offended me?" "How can I forgive when I feel hatred in my heart?" "Why has God allowed this to happen to me?" The gospel principles enunciated here provide a sure pointer towards freedom for all who have agonised with these questions. The stories offered here of those who have found this freedom are a light in the darkness, and an inspiration towards the highest calling of any human being – to have mercy and to forgive.
"At a time when the spirit of vengeance is abroad in many ways, it is hard to think of a more important theme than mercy. Without it, human beings are destined, like Cain, to murder their brothers and sisters. But mercy takes us out of the fratricidal world into the world of love where the human being is free to become what God has always had in mind, free to be in the image of God and to share the divine ecstasy."
Archbishop Mark Coleridge (Foreword)
