There are many people in the kingdom of God who are illiterate concerning God's language and wonder why they cannot experience the abundant life God promises them. One reason could be their lack of knowledge of what Christ demands; another could be their lack of desire to study God's word; and still another could be their hesitancy to follow what Christ has told them to do. Regardless of the reasons, Christians are not to be "functional illiterates" concerning their walk with God. Forgiveness is one area where this illiteracy abounds. Forgiveness is a spiritual dynamic that affects the lives of every human being, but more so, the lives of all born again believers in Jesus Christ. Whether you have been the victim of an offense or you have been the one offending someone else, you will eventually have to deal with forgiveness at some point in time. Kingdom Language - Volume Two - Forgiveness was written to bring biblical insight and wisdom into the hearts of those born again believers in Jesus Christ who struggle and sometimes fail with the command to "forgive as the Lord has forgiven you." The journey begins with an examination of the deception that an apology is forgiveness and ends with the examination of God's utilization of the believer as a minister of reconciliation - an ambassador of Christ in the stewardship of the grace of God in the extension of forgiveness. Take a moment and allow the knowledge of this volume of Kingdom Language to bring illumination and edification into your heart and mind that will transform your life, forever.

Jesus' teaching on the Kingdom of God is the core of his message. But do you understand it? We are so used to nicely crafted sermons and tidy Christian platitudes, that we are shocked when we encounter the radical Jesus. And radical he was! With his cousin, John the Baptist, he came onto the scene and began to preach that the Kingdom of God was at hand. The Reign of God had come to first century Palestine in the person of Jesus of Nazareth. What is this Kingdom of God? Why is it Good News? Why does it demand so much from you? How does it relate to your own life? As you come to grips with the raw truths that Jesus taught, without the sugarcoating of modern religion, your life will be changed! This book explores the Kingdom of God in 10 lessons that can be used for personal enrichment, by small groups and classes, and by teachers and preachers for sermon preparation.

Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Nobel Peace Prize winner, Chair of The Elders, and Chair of South Africa’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission, along with his daughter, the Reverend Mpho Tutu, offer a manual on the art of forgiveness—helping us to realize that we are all capable of healing and transformation. Tutu's role as the Chair of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission taught him much about forgiveness. If you asked anyone what they thought was going to happen to South Africa after apartheid, almost universally it was predicted that the country would be devastated by a comprehensive bloodbath. Yet, instead of revenge and retribution, this new nation chose to tread the difficult path of confession, forgiveness, and reconciliation. Each of us has a deep need to forgive and to be forgiven. After much reflection on the process of forgiveness, Tutu has seen that there are four important steps to healing: Admitting the wrong and acknowledging the harm; Telling one's story and witnessing the anguish; Asking for forgiveness and granting forgiveness; and renewing or releasing the relationship. Forgiveness is hard work. Sometimes it even feels like an impossible task. But it is only through walking this fourfold path that Tutu says we can free ourselves of the endless and unyielding cycle of pain and retribution. The Book of Forgiving is both a touchstone and a tool, offering Tutu's wise advice and showing the way to experience forgiveness. Ultimately, forgiving is the only means we have to heal ourselves and our aching world.

Whether giving or receiving, forgiveness is the key toward true healing and blessing. God says there are no limits to forgiveness toward others or ourselves. And when Matthew West set out on a journey asking people to share their true life stories, Renée shared about how she chose to forgive the drunk driver who hit and killed her daughter. This remarkable story and others like it bring peace and healing to the one needing and the ones giving forgiveness. Fifty powerful stories share forgiveness through divorce, betrayal, addiction, abandonment, death, and more. Each story ties into the promises of God’s faithfulness and healing, and ends with the story of God’s ultimate forgiveness through the message of salvation.
