Reseña del libro "beyond shame and pain,forgiving yourself and others (en Inglés)"
This book is unique among books on forgiveness. In addition to being Christian, it is based on a very solid foundation of clinical and social psychology. Based on 26 years of teaching and clinical practice, it condenses some of the best insights into reader-friendly prose, using case examples to illustrate primary points. Forgiveness, like apple pie, is something most people want more of, but few know how to achieve genuinely. This book will provide fresh ideas on how to appropriate more of his psychologically powerful commodity to a discouraged world. It's time we let forgiveness out of church and psychology out of the laboratory and clinic. I hope my book does both. -- Dr. John Berecz Though written for a general audience, this book will also appeal to pastors, pastoral counselors, social workers, physicians, nurses, and any in the helping professions who approach their work from a Christian perspective.
