FORGIVE by Timothy Keller, read by Sean Pratt - audiobook extract
b"An exploration of the power and the possibility of forgiveness, from New York Times best-selling author Timothy Keller.\\n\\n'Why is it better for me to forgive someone and take on the cost of that forgiveness myself?'\\n\\nIn his new audiobook, renowned pastor and author Timothy Keller grapples with this thorny question: why we should forgive those who hurt us. It is the heart of the gospel, but it's not solely important on a religious level; the matter of forgiveness has a huge impact on social and cultural levels, in terms of how we deal with the people, and problems, in our lives. What is it like to carry around resentment and judgement, and what does it cost us to do so\\u2014as against the very real personal cost of extending forgiveness to others? These are issues that matter on a daily level, as well as a spiritual one.\\n\\nWriting with his trademark wisdom and deep reliance on the Bible, Keller helps listeners think about these questions in an way that will help them rethink their lives, in ways that point to Jesus showing us how to live in the world\\u2014and how we can live in a spirit of forgiveness."
