I wish I could give it five stars. I feel like this book is the tip of the iceberg for forgiveness. I suffered mental abuse, financial loss, and damage of character from a boss that still affects me to this day. I have tried to forgive, but the things he did were deliberately done as revenge against me because when his mom was my boss, she was the same way. I was not liked for being truthful and doing my job. That is oversimplifying it, but when great people take their jobs seriously and tell the truth, then people who don't hold up their end discredit and lie to cause character damage, even mental and physical pain. Ironically, both the man and his mom had psychology degrees, and quite frankly knew how to use their knowledge to play mind games and destroy an innocent person's career and financial life. When you are in the field of teaching, all connections must be at least average, or you are not going to ever teach in a satisfying job that doesn't take advantage of you. This book would have helped me want to get to the level of wanting to forgive if I had read it back in 2016. I am past the point of wanting to see him suffer or get the consequences of his wrongdoing, because I do believe a loving God has felt my pain and any justice that I could dish out pales to what God can do. It does give me comfort that God does not like it when anyone hurts His children, so I feel like I don't need the man to say or do anything for me. But the problem is, sooner or later I have to go to sleep. And from time to time, disturbing dreams pop up that worry me enough to wake up. I am always trapped in a bad teaching job, or about to make a mistake that is going to get me in trouble. So, without having been diagnosed, I am pretty sure I am PTSD. This book does not address how to handle it when your body reacts when you don't want it to do so. And that is why I give it three stars. If you had called it STEP 1 in Healing, or something like that, it would have been five stars, but people who have had deeper pain and issues as a result of wrongdoing are not going to get any peace of mind. It might start the process, but that will be it. I did appreciate the religious references, and thought they tied in with the book, but I am afraid someone will read this and think that something is wrong with what they are doing because their bodies are betraying and hurting them. If you have ever had to be on the run constantly, knowing that no matter how much you did or how well you did it did not matter, because your boss was trying to watch for screw ups to document and get you in trouble, then you would understand that just saying a few words out loud or a few prayers is not enough. If you write a second book as a sequel to this one, please keep this in mind. Thank you! ( )
